Next stop: San Francisco, then Pacific Coast Highway down to San Simeon.
The first thing I noticed is that it is cool and humid in San Francisco- certainly colder than Florida and also much cooler than New York City! Look at the latitude of San Fran and compare it to NYC... is that a reason it's colder? Or is it something else? Check out a topographic map of the region.
As we drove south down the Pacific Coast Highway , we got to see something very exciting: elephant seals!! GNRA has seals too; but we have harbor seals and grey seals.
Why do you think elephant seals live on the west coast of the USA, but not on the east coast?
