The Other Coast

The East Coast has breathtaking views, but have you ventured out to see the scenic West Coast? Friends always told me how beautiful it was, but I never believed them.  I traveled out to San Fransisco last October with a friend and drove up Highway 1 to Oregon. My goodness,  I was speechless and could not believe what I saw! The Pacific has some of the finest sights; this by far is one of the best road trips I’ve taken. I took over 2,000 photos of mother nature’s creation. . .

My goal next time is to start from  San Diego to Oregon – hopefully it will be a 2 week trip.  If you haven’t see the coast, you need to take this life changing trip!

Have you driven on Highway 1? If so, what were your favorite spots?

Experience paradise. Lush jungle, monkeys, wildly colorful birds, waterfalls and exclusivity. Sounds wonderful doesn’t it? rainforest2Although it might not be the easiest trip to make, the visit to La Huasteca in the rainforest region of northeastern Mexico will be worth it.
