Road Trip: Hitting the Highway

We need some road trip music here.  Here's a list of classic road trip songs.  I dunno.  They're not all about driving.  How about Willie, Steppenwolf, or Joni.

Heading south, we passed by Castroville, the Artichoke Capital.  I'm not always impressed by all those "Capital of" places since I live in one, but the artichokes were magnificient.  We bought some.

So were the bananas, but we didn't buy any.

Handy offered to pull over so I could take this picture.  That's unusual. He usually doesn't like to interrupt his driving with stopping to look at things.  I've learned to live with it.

Here's the Point Sur lighthouse.  

There are tours on the weekends, but we were driving by on a Monday.   

However, we did stop for a delicious lunch at Nepenthe, a place we'd been driving by for years.  Check their website for some interesting stories.

The view was quite nice.

So was the other view.

The phoenix rises.  

Let them eat cake.

We'll have pie.  Banana cream pie, to make up for the bananas we didn't buy earlier.

After I digest, I'll continue the trip.
