Big Sur

We got to spend a couple of nights in a cabin in Big Sur, a stretch of gob-smackingly beautiful coast in California. It rained a lot, but we managed to get out into it a little bit. In fact we were very rugged and adventuresome, and (look away, Dad) forded a little river of freeezing cold water in our bare feet. It felt very Fellowship of the Ring.

After it had started raining proper, I donned our enornous new yellow rain poncho, in which I looked like the mother ship of the yellow highlighters (shame there's no photo) to take the short walk to see this sight in the Julia Pfeiffer Burns National Park:

It's amazing stuff. The photos are wonderful. Snow, surf, rocks, rain. Poldy seems to have about fourteen different winter outfits! He seems to be really into it(and them). Worked at Boxing Day Test today. Bay 13 found the action on the oval so boring they constructed a very long snake from plastic cups. It looked like one of those giant earthworms they dig up in South America or wherever.
