Day 15 - Big Sur to Redwood City

Qigong class at sunrise, followed by some serious Yoga stretching at the edge of the Big Sur cliffs. Another long soak in the baths. Then a much needed massage after two weeks behind the wheel and I was more relaxed than I've been in a long time. Green tea drinking with waves pounding the rocks, lunch, then back on Route 1. Knowing that the journey is almost at an end makes me slow down, savor every view. Even though these sights will just be a short drive from my new home they'll certainly look different next time I drive to Big Sur.

Eventually we reached the turn off for Highway 9 and a drive through the Santa Cruz mountains to end our journey in Redwood City.

“As we look back and survey the terrain to determine where we’ve been and where we are in relationship to where we’re going, we clearly see that we could not have gotten where we are without coming the way we came.”

-- Steven Covey
