One of the worlds great drives is US Highway one from Carmel south to Cambria.  Even on a day when the weather isn’t perfect, the drive is magnificent.

We set off from Carmel about noon and arrived in Cayucos by 3.30 pm.  On the way we stopped and took pictures of the bridges and the elephant seals. We had an early dinner with our friends who have a super condo there and were home by nine.  California is a great place to live.

Rebecca has an idea to turn the section of Highway One from Cambria to Carmel into a toll road like 17 Mile Drive.  It would tax the tourists and let the locals continue to drive free.  Good Idea!
