Drive
There was a break between the seemingly endless storms*, so I decided it was a good time to head to the South Coast.
It was a postcard day, with the Pacific impersonating the Mediterranean and not a cloud in the sky. It was one of those perfect days that often precede a storm, which it was scheduled to do. So I decided to drive while the sun shone.
The (curvy) road rose up to me as I traveled south:
And I stopped to admire the view:
Sometimes I can’t believe how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful place.
The fields were full of wildflowers and baby animals. No matter what the weather said, spring was here.
This is one of the most challenging parts of the drive. It is both steep and curvy, though for some reason, the roads never look as curvy and steep and steep as they are in real life:
You’ll just have to take my word for it.
I stopped near the apex of that hill to look out at the ocean:
I always admired that view, but had never stopped there before.
At last, I arrived at Anchor Bay Thai:
where I placed my order and waited for the deliciousness to be ready to go before heading back the way I came:
It was a beautiful drive and the food was wonderful. Worth the drive for sure.
*Honestly, sometimes it feels like it’s Narnia: always winter and never Christmas. I fully expect to wake up and find it’s 80 degrees one day.
