Me in front of the Neptune pool at Hearst Castle. This is an amazing pool and I can totally imagine Clark Gable or Marilyn Monroe swimming here.Along side the coast on the Pacific coast highway, the whole length of the road winds around beautiful bays like this. It was really hard to keep my eyes on the road.

Then I made it to Yosemite and I was glad that I was out of the car. I could stop and gaze whenever I wanted without causing a traffic accident. The weather was good and I was feeling comfortable in my hiking boots. I wasn't feeling as comfortable at the end of the day, but I am sure the exercise did me good.
