Default Cold Shot's California Adventure...

A few shots from our trip last month to Santa Barbara, Pebble Beach and Monarch Beach. Thanks to all of you who had great tips and suggestions for the trip. It was awesome...even though I played like I only had a shovel in my golf bag on Pebble.

On 17 Mile Drive near Spanish Bay.

Beautiful classic on the streets of Monterey. An nice SLR rolled by me 5 minutes after I took this shot.

PCH on the way to Pebble just north of Hearst Castle.

Same spot on the PCH. Notice my driver behind the passenger seat? It was the only club I could not get in the trunk!

Unfortunately, no. Maybe next time as that is something I would like my not-so-well traveled wife to see.

More of beach hiker I'm afraid. She likes the ocean...as I do as well. Plus, she has an old heart condition (under control) that I would like to not test. However, I have been there before and KNOW she would appreciate seeing the area.

Yes Romantic area Cold Shot!! Our equal is The Great Ocean Road in the state of Victoria, Australia. My sister (from L. A. California) visited me 3 yrs ago and did mentioned about the similarity with the area around Monterey.

I should take my slk for a trip on the Great Ocean Road.
I noticed your golf driver sticking out from the car cabin. You must be a tall man.

Cheers and Best wishes to you and your wife.

My sister was just your way on her honeymoon. Small world, eh? I have always wanted to visit your neck of the woods, but never found the time.

To me, I would need three weeks. I could not go to Australia and not also take the opportunity to see New Zealand. If you go that far, why not?

For now, my desire is Japan. This is such a big (and such a small) world, that you simply have to prioritize. Can't see it all till you die and look down on it I'm afraid.

Personally, I'd rather see it first hand.


Best wishes.
