no sleep till brooklyn: day one
have you ever driven along the pacific coast highway amidst a blinding haze of fog and wash from the surf crashing hundreds of feet below you as the sun is setting to your left and just said to yourself, "if i were to go crashing off this cliff right here, where would i go? clearly i'm already in heaven." well...i have, as of today at least.
today was the first leg of our second trans-continental journey, appropriately dubbed, compliments of my dear suzanne, the "no sleep till brooklyn tour." i mean, we'll sleep and all, but we're gonna be driving a whole lot.
today we drove from our dear apartment in vista, all the way up to carmel, which is just south of monterey. look it up on google maps, i think you'll get a kick out of it. we drove approximately 450 miles and a large portion of it was along the california coast. incidentally, coast driving is awesome. you know all those movies where the hot guy and the hot girl are driving along a winding road with the ocean crashing against the cliffs below them...that was suzanne and i today.
the area that we're in right now is called big sur, which is absolutely picturesque. its where william randolph hearst built his castle. that guy had a lot of money, and pretty good taste from what i hear, so i think that means that we're in one of the coolest place in the world.
there was one point when we were driving along the cliffs, and this area is very foggy, and we were watching the fog being drawn up the mountain and over us. we were driving through a tunnel of fog...it was fucking awesome. there was this other part when we were driving through some thick fog, and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere it cleared up, which is when we realized that there was this big ol' mountain right in front of us. it was insane.
we are at the edge of the continent. we drove where the mountains dropped into the ocean. we stood at the edge of a cliff 250 feet above the ocean and looked west until we saw no more. we looked down on clouds that were barely hovering above the oceans surface.
so, how do i feel about moving back to the east coast, going back to school and in general, starting what i expect will be a fantastic new chapter in my life? so far things are going pretty well.
