CALIFORNIA: a world of treasures

by shivan - last update: Sep 13, 2004

Along the Highway 1
California is not, as anybody can think, only beaches, Disneyland, beauties on rollerblades and Hollywood.

It is a land of contrasts, you can find what I said before, but also deserts, green-coloured hills, high mountains, parks, snow (!).
California is also a border land. The more you go south the stronger is the spanish-mexican influence, and everything changes again...
I returned there this year with joy and anticipation about all the new things I'd have seen and all the things I'd have loved to see again.

This time I dedicated more time to the land between the big cities than to the cities themselves.
I know, or better, I may imagine, that there are so many little "secondary" towns to visit in the USA, but I preferred to go to San Francisco and San Diego again and then drive through the land for miles and miles.

The new entries in my California wanderings this year have been the Monterey Bay and the Sequoia National Park

Pros:"everything you may need is there"

In A Nutshell:"no excuses not to go"

 Your pictures remind me of my trip on the coastal highway from San Diego to Eureka. Tioga pass! I had almost forgotten that place! You have superb pictures. That cannot be pure chance !

 Beautiful photos of California! I had forgotten all about the Tioga Pass / Mono Lake area, for example. – Greetings from Frankfurt.
