A drive along the California Central Coast

I took this video on Saturday when we were driving back to San Juan Capistrano from Arroyo Grande (near San Luis Obispo). It shows the road just north of Santa Barbara with a stop at a view point where I took a panorama of the Channel Islands. Some of the islands are sort of lost in the glare of the sun, but it's still pretty. Enjoy!

Oh yeah, I tried to use California Dreamin' and/or California Sun for the music, but I just couldn't get it to work, thus, the music is just one of my favorite songs and it seemed to fit. :D

Thanks Margo!
I enjoyed the ride.
Mountains and ocean together are what we love about St John and of course CA too.

yes, the Michael Franti tune is perfect.

Thank you so much for the video. I hope I will be able
to see CA myself once in the future.

Carolyn, now that you mention it, I guess there are a number of similarities between the Calif. coast & STJ.

Linne, I hope you can visit California, too! It has so much to offer! :D

I was there last summer! My best friend from 8th grade lives in Santa Maria. I spent a week with her... we spent 3 days on HWY 1. We saw elephant seals, Phiffer (sp?)Falls, and the really great State park just South of Carmel. I loved it. Can't wait to go back with Capn Dan. I have tons of fabulous pictures!
