I seriously don't remember whether we took that drive or not. I don't remember anything about paying an extra toll. Is this different than highyway number 1? We were going down the coast, Monterey, Carmel, Santa Barbara and before that a little place called Solvang.

I don't even remember whether I actually SAW the cypress in real life or just on pictures ;) It's really all a blur, being so long ago and me having been so young. I'm not even sure whether it was Carmel or Monterey, the pictures where we sit on the beach and have a snack, but I think it was Carmel. We went to a German bakery which obviously was some tourist magnet.
