the most beautiful place on earth

The New York Times ran a travel article recently on my favorite place on the planet, Big Sur, California. When I lived in California, I was only a 20 minute drive north from this place, and trust me when I say I went as often as possible. I have yet in my life found a place as serene, as beautiful, as wholly fulfilling as those cliffs, those beaches, those trails. Just thinking about it now gives me chills.

Honestly, it was like another planet. That's how awesome it was. Not to mention that along one of the hiking trails, you would come across some natural hot springs. You have not lived life until you skinny dip with a beautiful girl in some hot springs, then jump in a cool mountain creek afterwards. Every nerve ending on your body is heightened in sensitivity. Needless to say, bring a blanket.
