We've spent the last few days enjoying San Jose and Carmel, California … and we've been told by the locals that thel weather has been exceptional (however after the recent snow in Iowa, it honestly wouldn't take much for us to consider sunny warm weather exceptional).
Today we explored Carmel and then took the drive down Highway 1 to Big Sur … it was windy & foggy, but we had a few great moments to catch the view.
And it wouldn't be vacation if I didn't find some new shoes … love my new orange driving moccasins.
The flowers are gorgeous … so many in bloom.
The rose bushes are so large that they are trimmed like trees … we saw them in almost every color.
They smelled wonderful too.
And I will confess that on my late afternoon shopping jaunt, more shoes were purchased … these are from an Italian company called Wonders … and so comfortable.
… and the fog cleared tonight, so we could see the sunset over the ocean in Carmel.
Glad you are enjoying your CA vacation, including scoring some new shoes! Hee! Amazing roses. They are huge! I enjoyed living in San Jose. So much to do, to see and such beauty to enjoy. Decades later, I still miss it. 🙂
Fun vaca, beautiful flowers, incredible vistas, AND shoes??!! Now that’s what I call a perfect getaway. Keep the pix coming…it’s so nice to see them all. Bev
soooooooooooo jealous but then your pics are almost like being there! (have you considered adding “scratch-n-sniff” to the rose photos???!) 🙂 🙂 🙂
