J Matt's Winter Vacation-Epilogue


Wow. Fell off of the road-trip blog wagon there. Sorry about that.

Anyhoo...

I'm now back in Urbana after 4-ish weeks in Cali. I had a good time. Saw friends, family, animals...some all at the same time. The highlights, I'd have to say, involved the animals. Take for instance these Elephant Seals I saw outside of Cambria, CA. I give ye seal videos:






I dug them.

Quite.

At any rate, I don't have much to say. Home was, and continues to be, exhausting and welcoming at the same time. Nostalgia, distance, regret, hope...all of these feeling carried equal weight with me.

And if I learned anything from the trip, it was this:

No regrets. Move forward.

Happy 2008!

Some more photos:

A bridge in Big Sur, near where I used to live:



The Donner Party Memorial...I drove past here 2 days before this whole area was snowed out.

Happy to be back home!

Cheers,

J
