views from the road

I was in the train, briefly, and this was as close as I got to the beach on my short trip south.

Still it was lovely! I spent as much of the hour as possible checking for whale spouts. I didn't see any, but it was fun to be able to try.

I wish I had gotten at least one long walk by the water... next time.

Instead, the only forays into the world beyond my computer were the rest stop near Gaviota.

It had the best signage I had seen in a long while.

And this view of the mountains.

Frolicking dogs need to be careful of rattler snakes... just saying.

I also took a hike to see Chila... but I will save that for another post.
