I drove from San Francisco to San Luis Obispo today. The drive was really pretty, lots of curvy mountain roads. There is a beach on the way where elephant seals go to hang out. It’s really cool, when I got there I thought they were all dead, but they were just sleeping. There was a “Friends of the elephant seal” docent there who answered all of my stupid questions about seals. Some fun facts: males live up to 15 years and females live up to 20 years. When seals lie on the beach, they use their fins to throw sand on themselves because it keeps them cool. I was very surprised at how big they are, the guy told me how big they get, but I can’t remember.
Tonight I’m staying at a KOA in Santa Margarita, which is about 30 minutes from San Luis Obispo. It’s cool because it’s on the side of a mountain, but it’s very dusty. I met a woman from New Zealand who is traveling around the West coast with her daughter. It was really fu8n to talk to her, mostly because she has a really cool accent. Tomorrow I’m going to spend the day in San Luis Obispo, they have a farmers’ market at night, which I’ve been told is really cool.

Did you get anything at the farmers market? Hope you stayed far from those seals I hear they are dangerous?
