Thursday we left at bout 9am for the Redwoods.
The road was very windy, and e and Brandon was sitting in the back of the car... and we both got wheezy... but with a bit of fresh air, and solid ground we got through it :) We stopped at a Subway shop, and stretched legs, had some food, and then went on...
The first place we stopped was Patric's point. This place looked like Cape point, but more like some Celtic coastline... the whole cost has mist over the sea, and the air is cool and fresh... just a few miles inland it is hot :) so the weather system change is cool. Patric's point was breathtaking. I am not sure what it was... but it was just a great experience... it was like seeing something that you did not expect to see... so it was a mix of awe, wonder, and gratitude for the greatness of God's creation... It was also cool to get to know some new people that came along :)
Then we went to one of the many Redwood parks. The Redwoods are all over the west coast, so its not just one place, but many that have huge trees growing there :) So we went on a little trail, and explored the forest... it was great... the silence... the coolness.. the green-ness... it reminded me of Narnia / LOTR / Mononoke ... just the beauty of the forest... unspoiled for thousands of years... as if you could see a picture of the original creation... untouched...
We drove off to get something to eat, and then one of the cars ran out of gas (petrol). so we had a little adventure to get gas, drive back, and give them some gas to fill up. We then found a little shop called stars burgers... got some real good burgers... nice little shop atmosphere... had a good time.
Then we went and got kinda lost, but then got to the beach... it was dark, with only moonlight... so we all walked across a large stretch of beach in the dark to get to the sea... which was freezing... and the wind was cold... thankfully Ruben swapped jerseys with me, and i got a warmer jersey :) so i was not cold anymore... then we prayed a bit on the beach... then went back home...
Came back after 12 at night... i was tired... but it was a good day... mmm...
