We drove from Pismo Beach to Salinas, along the beautiful California State Route 1. Unfortunately, there was mist just along the coast, but we still got glimpses of the nice scenery.

After arriving at the hotel, we wanted to go to the beach, but it was cold covered by mist. We went back to the hotel, and its swimming pool, fortunately sufficiently far from the coast to be sunny.

Diner next to the hotel in a very American looking and sounding restaurant.
