Day 7 Central Coast Highway

The drive up the coast was just awsome. I took my time and just enjoyed the drive. I even manage to a sudoku over lunch (at Carl’s Jr, no less) for the first time, because I felt like it and found myself to really suck at it – it was rated 3 star difficulty and I had to take about an hour and look at the answer twice to solve the whole puzzle! I have accomplished two things I have never done before - I finished a sudoku and I loitered at a fast food restaurant for over an hour :)

Anyways, the scenery just took my breath away - there has been high surf advisory and the waves that were crashing on the shore were 15-20 feet high.

At one point I stopped by an outcropping next to the ocean and decided to freeclimb the thing. I would rated it a solid 5.6 – 5.7 climb and I was being extra careful. I wish someone could’ve taken some pics from below! It's the most awsome, scary, adventurous thing I have done, other than dating (the ultimate extreme sport).

I made it down safely. The sunset over the pacific was just awsome.
I guess between freeclimbing, the sun and the ocean I felt my own mortality, and wished people who I know that has passed on could've shared the moment with me, especially Sonia. I think she would've loved the view. Peace.
