We're still in California, on the last leg of our west coast tour. We left San Francisco for Humboldt County, where this picture was taken in the Redwood Forest. It was really incredible, I had never seen redwoods before and they are breathtaking. Nathan's parents have a beautiful house in Manila on the bay where you can look out and see the fog settling down every morning. Just after we left, the 6.5 earthquake hit, causing some damage to their town, and neighboring Eureka and Arcata. Luckily everyone and everything is ok!
We headed down to LA from there on Amtrak's Coast Starlight. It's a scenic train that runs along the coast and is quite beautiful, especially from San Luis Obispo to Santa Barbara where it travels right along the beach. We moved down to the observation car for this part of the trip, which is when the sun was setting as well, and just so totally perfect. If you ever have the chance to take it (not a bad way to get from San Francisco to LA, and only 12 hours and $50!) I really recommend it.
