We got into Big Sur kinda late and had trouble finding a hotel room, so we just started stopping at little Inns along Highway 1. It was dark when we found our room, and we got the last one. She told us we had an ocean view, of course we couldn’t see it. When we got up the next morning we only had to walk a few steps out the back door to see this. It was pretty cool, because the hotel was built on a cape and surrounded by the ocean.

We found this little hideaway behind a roadside cafe in Big Sur. It’s a hippys dreamland.
I stopped by the Henry Miller Library in Big Sur and picked up a few things. The library is basically a gift shop in a small cabin built on one of Henry’s friend’s place. Henry had a place close by in Big Sur. They also have a small stage and put on perfomances. Philip Glass played there this past summer.
The one thing I noticed about Big Sur was that there is a lot of young wannabe hippies, and they don’t like to work too hard. For instance the clerk at the gift shop had to be interupted from eating or smoking everytime someone wanted to buy something or ask a question – he must not work on a commission.
I especially liked the computer monitor crusifix below.
