Redemption

Ok... so my drive down US 101 yesterday completely made up for the horrible drive I had into and across San Francisco days earlier. Car trouble and gas prices aside, it was so wonderful to have my car and I think I just made a complete 180- I like traveling by car instead of by plane. Disregard all previously made statements!

The scenery was breathtaking- perfect weather combined with some of California’s most lush agricultural areas made for an absolutely beautiful drive. I should have, as per suggestion of a friend, stopped and taken in some winery tours and tastings, but being the only one driving AND consuming wine was maybe not a good combination for me. The drive came to a beautiful close as I approached Highway 1 down in Malibu right as the sun dipped into the Pacific. I stand firm by my earlier statement that sunsets are that much prettier in the West rather than in the East. Different to say the least. I ended the evening on a lovely note with dinner at Malibu Seafood. Despite troubles on the road, petty annoyances and technological setbacks attached to my job, how can you really complain about the day I just had? Feeling very lucky.
