First, this is the beach.
It's different from Santa Monica beach, isn't it?
It was early morning (8:00), so there are less people and opening shops.
That's too bad...
I wanted to tell how nice Venice is, but I can't.
Well, I needed coffee as everyday custom.
This shops is small like a hiding place...
At 9:00, my long journey started.
Today's destination is San Francisco by using CA-1 and US-101 highway.
According to GPS, it takes 7 hours by car.
In the left, I can see blue ocean, and in the right mountain.
With window opening, I drove. Wind is very comfortable.
Malibu, here, is also nice beach spot.
However long I drove, long beaches last like forever.
I wander how many beaches are there in CA?
When I drove a little far way from coast line, next I saw is huge farm in Oxnard.
Here, Santa Barbara, I took a rest and walk around the downtown.
This place is a resort area.
White houses, orange roof...
Like Andalusia in Spain. I thought the same thing as I heard.
Well, let's have a lunch in Santa Barbara.
I ate hamburger as usual, but this is good taste, different from fast food!!
After Santa Barbara, the highway is in mountains.
After I passed through Santa Maria, I met Pacific again!
This is not a beach but nice place to take a rest.
Gradually, I didn't want to drive any more...
Since this morning, I had driven for almost 5 hours.
In 7:00 I arrived at San Jose.
I was looking forward to go sightseeing here because this is famous worldwide.
But my expectation was destroyed when I saw poor town...
There are nothing but buildings...
This is the place for business, not for sightseeing.
I understood....
Finally I got at San Francisco~~
It was almost 9:00...
I was exhausted...
Over 430miles (700km), over 8 hours driving...
Thinking about this drive, CA has wide variety of landscape from good nature to good city.
I recognize CA is very nice state again.
