Elephant Seals

We drove back from Big Sur on the Pacific Coast Highway (that's the PCH to us locals). On the way there are lots of places to stop with interesting things to look at, but when we had 300 miles to drive it had to be pretty interesting.

We drove past one parking lot with a lot of cars in it, and when we were past, we saw that the cars were there because there were elephant seals on the beach. We made a U turn, and went to look at the elephant seals - as did about 50% of the cars that headed in that direction.

The boys weren't feeling great (they had colds) and refused to get out of the car. I had to tell them that the animals had mouths a little bit like Dr Zoidberg's before they would.




David Attenborough never had the problem of children kicking the fence he was resting his camera on. (Also, I've got no sound on my computer right now, so I've no idea what that sounds like).
