Day 1 - Big Sur/Carmel/Monterey

Day 2 - Literary Sites/Salinas Valley/Big Basin Redwood State Park
Day two took a literary flavor as we visited a place where Robert Louis Stevenson once lived and the National Steinbeck Museum. http://www.steinbeck.org/ Driving through the Salinas Valley and all its rich farm land percipitated a purchase of a fresh Artichoke that Nina later steamed. We finished the day at the Big Basin Redwood State Park.
