Day 19 - Sequoia National Park, CA to Seaside,CA

I said in the previous post that we arrived late at Sequoia National Park, what I didn't mention was the huge amount of warnings we faced regarding bears:

But even worst than those, were these ones:


So, we had to put all our food and hygienic stuff on those brown boxes such that our car would remain intact...
In fact, there was one box of those for each camping place in the campground...

After waking up and placing all our things back in the car, time to see the giant sequoias:

Ana and the twins

The farthest sequoia in the picture is the biggest tree in the world, it is not the tallest nor the wider nor the older, but it is the tree with more wood in its trunk. In fact, its top is death, it does not grow leaves anymore, but the sequoia itself is still alive and growing every year

Sherman Tree (the biggest)

Tiago and Sherman

A sequoia that became a tunnel

Sentinel sequoia, a big one also

Ana and Sentinel

After visiting the parks, time to go back to the Pacific Coast heading to San Francisco. On this trip we did more videos than pictures, but those still need to be edited. Nevertheless, we found some interesting animals as:
Elephant Seals

And we continued north with some interesting views (now the sea and not the desert ;) )







McWay Falls (can you see it?)

 Initially we were supposed to arrive in San Francisco in the same day we left Santa Monica, one day later we were still not there... Next day will be it...
