   Part 6   

Elephant Seal Vista Point 
→ Trust me - they are not dead.  Just sleeping.

   Part 7   

Sunset at Morro Creek
→ Late afternoon the clouds started coming in and blocked the sun.
→ I kept looking at the sky from our hotel room, continually telling myself that the sunset was a bust.
→ Decided at the last minute that it wouldn't hurt to go watch and am so glad I did.
→ Video of all the pics here... https://youtu.be/KgBGxGjwC8w
