Blast From the Past (11th of July)

We left to Big Sur in the afternoon. It was a long drive but the scenery made me stop thinking about time. Big Sur is one of America’s most beautiful places and one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen in my life. We were driving in a narrow two-lane road which worried me a bit but thw breath-taking view made my worries melt away. From the little car window I could see the endless sky-blue ocean, the mountains and the sky to my left and the beautiful green landscapes to my right. The view was captivating. It made me forget every other thing that I usually think about. It was a rare moment in my life where my mind was clear. The mind of a child who can only thinks about fun. Nothing was going to ruin this beautiful view.
We arrived at the Deejen’s Big Sur Inn, an old hotel composed of a bunch of old beautiful cabins. As I was trying to absorb the beauty of the place, I realized that the only noise I'm going to hear is the noise of nature.


The cabins were a blast from the past. Everything was authentic from the bathroom to the little guest books. It was nice reading the experiences of guests who visited Deetjen’s in the 1960’s and 1970’s and relating to them. It was nice to know how they felt when they were here. it was interesting to read why they were here. The cabins had a soothing vibe about it. The only nuisance was the possibility of raccoons visiting our cabin. As soon as I stepped inside the cabin and looked around it one more time. I pushed my worries to the back of my mind and decided to enjoy being there. I enjoyed being in a place considered by many couples the perfect honeymoon destination, the once-in-a-lifetime birthday experience and a splendid location to celebrate the 50th anniversary.
