We drove from LA up to Boulder Creek to stay with a friend who lives there, I haven't seen her since I was last in America when I was 8! There's not much I can say about the drive, other than it was beautiful, truly spectacular. So I've chosen to not write much and just put up a load of photos - I couldn't describe it anyway! I will just say that you may notice that the car is huge- it had a 5 litre engine and 7 seats and was far too big for just the two off us. This is what happens when Tim goes to the car hire place on his own! We both had a lot of fun driving it though.

| Yes I was allowed to drive - under strict instruction! |

| Happy Timmy in his big car |
 |
| Just beautiful! |
 |
| The fog rolled in just before sunset - even that was spectacular! |
We stayed for 2 nights with Nan (ette) in Boulder creek and spent a day at Pebble Beach looking at the golf course and doing the 17 mile drive. Tim was so happy at Pebble Beach, he couldn't stop smiling, it was a real shame he didn't get to play the course...maybe one day.

| Of all the places we've been to, and amazing things we've seen it's a golf course that produces the biggest smile! |
We had a great meal in a little seafood restaurant on the way home, seafood chowder complete with a whole crab - delicious! Next stop San Francisco...

| Yummy seafood - The bibs were necessary! |
 |
| Early morning drive to San Francisco on Skyline Boulevard at about 1200m above sea level- those are clouds in the valley! |
