Big Sur-Paradise on Earth

This weekend i spent a day and a half in Big Sur, the central coastline of California between Carmel and Hearst Castle. Fortunately it was a bright and sunny day and i started my Saturday with a delicious breakfast at River Inn. The Big Sur river just flows by River Inn Cafe. A very relaxing place to read or just sit and do nothing. Followed by that on highway 1 , i saw some of the most beautiful views on this planet ( from the little what i have seen so far). The huge Pacific is always seen on one side of the road, changing colors during the day and with the angles on the road. At one of the places near Henry Miller memorial library on the way to Pfeiffer beach, i saw a huge spread of white fog captured between the hills above the ocean. This was one of the most majestic sights. The water in the ocean sparkling in the sun was immersed in this spread of fog. It seemed like the land, sea and sky were blending into one another. Pfeiffer beach was a deserted and beautiful beach with hills on one side of the beach along with a few huge rocks. The ocean roaring through the rocks seemed eager to reach the hills, the tides were quite high. After Pfeiffer beach I saw some more scenic views on the historic highway including the Big Sur bridge on one side of a huge cliff above the ocean. Big Sur has a few state parks, but i didnt visit any of them this time. I havnt even explored one tenth of this beautiful expanse of land, ocean and sky, so have to go again soon!
