Heading Home
There are moments when it's time to fly home early... My mom had a medical emergency and is now in the hospital. She was operated on and is doing well under the circumstances....

This morning we left Modesto early. Our goal was to reach Santa Barbara in 6 hours. Along the way, we made intentional stops at two places that would have been on our route: Instead of a wine tour and horse ranch, we had coffee and cookies in El Paso Robles, and in Cambria, we only stayed for 1 hour instead of 4 days 😂. The break at Moonstone Beach was so refreshing. It's exactly this nature that I love and had hoped for.
After that, we drove along the famous Highway No. 1 to my ❤️-city. Our journey originates from my constant chatter about this city. Alessandros' hope that my memories would turn out to be illusory upon my return was unfortunately not fulfilled 😜. This city is just so beautiful and has character. You can walk around, and it feels like a vacation. The whole neighborhood is filled with flowers, palm trees, cozy houses, and the beach is just around the corner. We will stay here for the last two days. 🦩R
