之前一直在忙着人生中的一件大事，出游的计划便一拖再拖，当得到最后确认消息的时候，新年假期里去各个地方的机票都已经翻倍的长上去了。和某人商量了一下，从圣诞到新年都在家里过。不过还是想找个地方放松一下，便又想起10年的感恩节想去泡温泉而没去成的遗憾，于是在加州的著名的Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort预定了一个房间。顺便再走趟#1公路，欣赏加州的美丽海岸。
5日下午才出发，所以觉得先走101开到目的地，第二天返回的时候再走#1公路。Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort在San Luis Obsipo这座海滨城市，从湾区出发只需要3.5个小时，大概因为不是周末而且也不是高峰时间开车，所以一路以75mile/H的速度狂飙，3个小时就到了目的地。可惜雨季的加州天黑的很早，没能欣赏到沿途风情。办完Check-in，我和某人都已经是饥肠辘辘，不过我们目标很明确，直接就奔当地一家非常有名的日本料理店Tsurugi开过去。
这家店在Yelp上的评价高达4星半，即使找起来稍微有点费劲，停车位紧张的不象话，仍不能阻止我想要尝试的决心。算我们时间到的巧，刚好还有最后一个Table，坐下来后就看到后面进店的客人只能站在门口等位。我们点了一个sashimi of the day和一份Teriyaki Beef套餐。
After the whole cloudy work days, San Fransico welcomes the Sunshine on Saturday, but I still waked up at noon. How can I miss this perfect Sunshine? So my friend and I went to the Muir Woods National Monument for hiking.
No matter Freeway 101 or 280 to Golden Gate Bridge direction is always crowded. We took almost 1 hour and half for driving and 15 minutes for parking!
Muir Woods National Monument is a ancient Redwood Forest conservation area.This land was purchased by a couple of businessman for protecting the last stands of uncut redwoods at beginning of 20th century, and then, they donate to the federal government for better protection. Although more than one hundred years has gone, the government still do his best for keeping this land in orginal status.
A deer is eating!
Can you image that there is a so integrated ancient forest neayby San Franciso downtown by driving just in 30 minutes? Yes, here is. Several months ago, when the former govrnor Schwarzenegger was stepped down, I have questioned his political achievement is nothing. Although I still believe his is a ineptitude officer today, but he really enacted series of policies about environment’s improvment and protection. It is very impressive event that CA’s governement assigned the Kyoto Protocol(《京都協議書》) which about reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions but US federal government’s President Gorge W Bush refused in 2006.

….It seems digressing topic too much…OK, I come back the redwoods and this perfect afternoon. After hiking, we drove to a small city nearyby the monument. Because I bought a cup of great taste frappucci in a small coffee shop last year, that is the best flavor I have ever had, the baked coffee beans was blended with iceberg、coffee and milk, so you can see the granule in the cup, it taste a little bit bitter, I really love it! Then, we found a burger resturant which adverise they have prized burger, I tried but i don’t like. Maybe it just isn’t my dish!
