Part of the series: Vancouver to the Grand Canyon and Back Again!
<< Day 5 - San Francisco
Half-way through the trip and we couldn't spend even a minute thinking about the wonders we had seen so far; we were on our way to the Big Sur coastline, and the Grand Canyon was still ahead after that!

| Big Sur coastline |
Driving down that coastal road was almost as curvy as the mountain roads we climbed in Italy, the biggest difference being that the road in California was a bit wider, and on the right-hand side, most of the time there was a drop-off to the ocean.

| Juanita and Angharad |
It was beautiful, and we took our time, stopping at whichever pullout caught our fancy.
The pullout immediately after Bixby Bridge was one that we explored at length - I should maybe point out that Angharad works for an engineering firm that specializes in bridges, and so we were all affected by her new-found interest in them.

| I was standing on the edge of that hill-cliff thing! |

A little further down the road, we found a pullout that had a perfectly formed tree stump chair, which I thought would be great to climb up... and it was, right up until the minute I tried to get down and realized that a) I am very short, and b) I was VERY close to the edge of the cliff.
Yet again, we found ourselves laughing well past the point of tears.
And there was still more to come!!!

| Now my fear of heights kicks in?!?! |

| View north... |

| ... and south from the stump - Totally Worth It!!! |
