At mass I met Una Gilmartin who is a civil engineer and is contracted out to the US National Park Service and was trying to convince me to get my PhD and become a park superintendent. hmmm… something to think about.
We decided to use the bad weather still today to drive south so we could be somewhere by the sunshine Monday morning.
We camped at San Simeon State Park. Edwin and I went for a walk out to the beach at night and it was really funny because in the moonlight you could see these large jumps on the beach. At first Edwin thought they could’ve been elephant seals., but as we got closer just noticed they were giant mounds of kelp. Then I got completely freaked out because as we were walking through the kelp there actually was a giant elephant seal in amongst the kelp that in turn got scared of us.
