Travelling down the Big Sur from San Francisco to Los Angeles is truly wonderful. You really feel like you are clinging on to the side of America; so much lays beyond the Pacific and yet so much lays out to the east across this huge island that is the USA. You swerve down the coast feeling every turn of the rugged shoreline knowing that you are one of many who has had the pleasure of experiencing the road tripper's ultimate pilgrimage, Highway 1, California.
