California Heatwave

California, south and north, was having a heatwave while we visited. We spent long, warm, outdoor evenings, cooking on the grill and having parties. That's just how we like it! We spent the weekend at Julie's in Long Beach. What a Party! Next, a few nights with Stephen and Vivienne in San Diego, before the last stretch of" Road Trip USA 2013" from San Diego to San Francisco. We broke the journey in San Louis Obispo and did Highway 1 from Morro Bay to Monterey. We stopped for a tour of Hearst Castle and loved the Elephant Seals. We stayed with Stephan and Andrea and celebrated 4 July in San Francisco. On 8 July, after 5009 miles or 8014 kms, we returned the car to Hertz at San Fran Airport and headed back to NJ.
