Firstly, I'd like to say thanks for making it to the end of this very long/picture heavy post (I narrowed down my picture choice to these 20 out of almost 200 pictures!). Secondly, contrary to what the title of this post may have lead you to believe, I am aware of the correct spelling of "wanderlust" (spelling things incorrectly is actually a slight pet peeve of mine :p). I was trying to get creative and incorporate my blog name with the title of this post (haha, clever?), which will hopefully be the beginning of a series on here. In addition to loving fashion, I also love travelling and experiencing new places, and thought that posts like this would be a fun way to document some adventures (and be a way for me to practice/learn how to properly use my camera...I've still got long way to go).
So onto the subject of this post: Big Sur.
As a post-midterms celebration, my roommate Gina and I decided to venture out to Big Sur. I've been dying to see Big Sur after seeing some pictures of it, and I was looking forward to an outdoor escape after a number of days sitting in a sequestered room studying.
On our way to Big Sur we stopped by Carmel for a bit, and man was it beautiful over there. The sand was so fine and soft, and the ocean was beautiful. After walking around the beach we headed back to the car. As we resumed our journey to Big Sur, we made a few stops here and there to take in more scenic views.
The first few pictures in this photo diary were taken of/at Bixby Creek Bridge. The next few pictures were taken en route to McWay falls, which reminded me of the mermaid lagoon in Peter Pan (haha!). McWay falls was probably my favorite sight of the trip, as the water looked so clear and the area by the falls looked so pristine since there is no beach access to the falls.
After McWay falls, we went on a hike and saw a stream with crystal clear water, some cute deer that were not phased by people watching them, and another waterfall. It felt like we were in a whole new place since the trail was more inland than the coastal scenery we had seen throughout the day.
The weather had been a bit breezy because of the overcast weather, but we didn't let that stop us from heading to Pfeiffer Beach for sunset. I managed to stub my big toe on a large rock while we were looking for a place to sit on the sand which wasn't very fun (hoping that I won't be surprised with a dead toenail when I take my nail polish off...tmi?). Despite the toe pain (QQ, as Jeremy would say), it was really relaxing being at the beach at sundown. The sun looked especially gorgeous as it was setting and tucked behind some clouds, and the last photo in this post is one of my favorites I took that day (for a hot second I contemplated going up to the parents of the little girl who randomly got into the photo to show it to them...but I thought that might've been a bit strange).
Shortly after the sunset we made our way home (which took much longer than it did to get there because of traffic), exhausted by our adventures of the day.
That's all for now! Once again I'm using this post as a study break (that shouldn't really be happening...ahaha *cries*), so I better get going.
'Til next time!
