Today was a beautiful, sunny day in northern California. It was a perfect day for a drive south to the quaint old town of Eureka, California. The town has maintained many of the turn of the century buildings and there were lots of cute shops and eateries that I would love to explore (Steve is not into shopping). But we walked and took in the colorful murals painted in alleys and on the sides of buildings. There is a bustling art community in Eureka. I'm posting pictures of a couple of the ornate Victorian houses. The big yellow/green house belonged to a lumber baron and I can only tell you that the picture doesn't do it justice. It was incredibly ornate.
This afternoon we took a drive on the Redwood Highway which is a scenic route through the redwoods. We saw lots more elk today. These were all big ones with huge antlers. Tomorrow we will leave this area and head up north. We'll be traveling about 200 miles. We'll be in Oregon tomorrow.
