I woke up at about 6am and went for a walk to get some coffee, it was hot already and there were a couple of Mexicans mowing the grass with petrol mowers, I love that smell!
As we left Santa Maria heading for Monterey along the Pacific Coast Highway I remember passing mile after mile of flat farmland, most of the farms were growing mainly fruit.
We stopped en route to visit Hearst Castle in San Simeon, a fantastic if not quite bizarre place which was built in the 1920's for the newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. Our journey also took us through "Big Sur" state park and Carmel made famous by Clint Eastwood who was once the mayor.
We arrived at the "Super 8" motel at about six pm in time to have a quick shower before venturing out into town.
