After persistent tries, I was finally able to convince Amir to go traveling today. Now that he has more free time for himself, he really enjoys staying at home reading a book...but since that's what I normally do during the week, I prefer going out on weekends - and so we did.
The destination we chose is supposedly close to home - Point Reyes National Seashore. It's a national park (free entrance) up north on highway number 1. Apparently, it's not as nearby as it seems on the map, and it took us an hour and 45 minutes to get there. But it was so worth it!
The beach from Point Reyes:
The lighthouse. It's a nice way down to the lighthouse, and when going up, the stairs are numbered, so that you'd know how many stairs are left to climb (308 in total).
Amir tested his bad knee by going down those stairs. It's in a much better shape :)
The main attraction of Point Reyes is whale watching. It's one of the best places on the American land to spot whales, while they are crossing to Mexico (winter) and back (spring). As the rangers stated on the board, 2 whales were spotted today on their way to Mexico. We weren't that lucky.
But we did get to see dolphins!!
And, for the first time, we saw some Elephant Seals. They really look like elephants with this trunk instead of a nose...

Looking right at me:
Even more sleepy now:
