We are descending to the Sacramento Valley, and the hills are covered with walnut trees.
The road is here following the surface of the hills, just like a roller coaster. Nice
Highway 5 to Sacramento goes through a flat valley, with both sides mountains. It looks very fertile. We see lots of rice fields and almonds.
We decided to take the 156 to Monterey, were the famous Big Sur starts. It is the road along the coast and labeled one of the major tourist attractions of the USA. Indeed it is beautiful. The ocean is deep blue the waves are white crested. Though it is winter you smell the flowers and herbs.
