Upon embarking on our second all American road trip we decided to revisit a few spots on the West Coast that had left their marks on our hearts. The destination at the top of this list was Big Sur. We spent a glorious three days here last April and I couldn't bare to leave the USA without one last journey to the ancient redwoods. As luck would have it, our beloved campsite #8 was awaiting us with open arms.
Days on the road are usually filled to the brim with driving, pawing through antique stores and searching for somewhere to pull over and slumber once the sun sets. To be in one place for more than 24 hours feels like quite a luxury. I've whittled away the hours down by the river reading Great Expectations. I always feel a tad stand offish when I begin reading classic literature, but as usual I've been won over by the charms of yesteryear.
With only a handful of chapters to go I'd love to hear some recommendations for my next read!
Ohh, I think this would quite possibily be my favourite place too! What a beauty! <3 <3 <3

we'll give you both a book or two to take with you...
ReplyDeleteThe House of Mirth by Edith Wharton. Ever read it? Katie-Louise..you & your beau are adorable.
ReplyDeleteI cannot understand how come you become elegant and that clean during your travel and camping:)!
ReplyDeleteYou must have some tricks, I wonder!
Beautiful pics by the way, I feel the nature and this green even from here.
I wonder how come that you become so elegant and that clean during your travel/camping!!Because you don't find shower all the time do you?

Best wishes.
I second that comment! When I was road tripping I was a sweaty mess with car seat hair. You look amazing! x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful backdrop and a beautiful lady, the velvet dress is heavenly xxx
ReplyDeleteI would recommend Les Misérables. It's funtastic and given its length it would make you company for a long road trip (and for a lifetime, in my case).
ReplyDeleteExquisite as always! xx
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and your collar!
ReplyDeleteThe Occasional Indulgence
Big Sur reminds me of the novel Duma Key by Stephen King :) I loved it.
ReplyDeleteAaand I love your pictures. It's amazing how you always succeed to create gorgeous photos- they're a joy for the eye.
My blog: Life Is A Romantic Poem
Yeah, The Thrills! This post makes me listen to "Big Sur" from them asap!:)
ReplyDeleteIf it's another classic read you're after, "Anna Karenina" is rather lovely. "War and Peace" is bollocks, however. Thomas Hardy is always divoonly tragic, too.
ReplyDeleteSafe trippin'.
Baby please dont go...this is what The USA is now saying! Safe flight home! xxx
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are just so stunning! Big Sur is in my dreams ready for a visit. It looks just as incredible as I imagined. xx
ReplyDeletePerfect location! I recommend Tess of the d'urbervilles, anything by Hardy really, long time love.
