We came out of the mountains and foothills and turned west towards the coast. Here we are in the Sacramento River delta area. Along the river were some quaint towns with old buildings, art galleries and small food markets.
There were various metal bridges every so often to small islands in the river.
We headed back into the trees near Santa Cruz to visit the Redwoods.
These trees are really tall.
The local wildlife keeping an eye on us.
Did I mention these trees are tall?
Interesting texture.
Today was our first rainy day but we made the best of it. The surfing museum was closed. Had everyone gone surfing?
Getting to the waves isn't always easy.
Some surfing rules.
The pier in Santa Cruz allows cars on it.
Despite the rain the Boardwalk was busy, though there were few takers for some rides.
I think having fun is allowed though.
We took a lovely walk along the cliffs so that Hubby could show me some of his old surf spots.
A surf spot called the Hook. Surfers give all the surfing spots a name. Some have to do with its location, or the way the wave behaves, and some are named for people.
Great pictures! What a fantastic trip.
ReplyDeleteThanks Once Upon. We really did have a good time. I'd like to repeat some of it but taking more time as we rushed some parts.
