Land's End

The name of this place made it sound too cool to miss out on. Luckily, I wasn't that disappointed when I left Land's End at the end of the day after 4 hours of so-called hiking around the shoreline of San Francisco.

Land's End is located at the western coast of California. It's where the Pacific Ocean meets land, hence the name. Of course, Japan is only a few thousand miles away, but from there it just looks like the end of the world. Like it does in most places where the horizon is nothing but ocean.

Whoever made a review about this place and suggested that you were proper footwear is now my hero. On the map, the walk around the coast looks like a piece of cake, a sunday stroll if you will. But at the location, geezus the walking was terrible. Not only was there a lot of steep inclines, but the ground is mostly sand and dirt which naturally will move around under your feet. This made the climb a hundred times worse than it actually would have been. But thankfully I was smart enough to take my running shoes; the only shoes that have yet to give me blisters. Bless them.

I'm planning on making a video from this trip because it seemed like a fun new idea to try. So the entire hike I was holding my phone and recording my walk. The look on peoples' faces were adorable, most glared at me for filming their family and children while others stopped to say hi to the camera. Many also assumed I was some sort of internet vlogger, hence the camera. So I was asked a lot of "oh my god are you on youtube or something?". Sorry to disappoint, I am and never will be youtube famous :(

But since I am a lazy evolutionary form of an ape, I have yet to do anything with the footage. So here are some pictures instead.

So basically we're on the other side of the GG bridge

It's a hawk!

beach!

The view when you begin your hike

The other side of Land's End. Smooth as a beach...

Compared to this anyway

17 days remaining, 15 till I get to fly to Arizona for a day. Looking forward to it! My parents are also visiting the day after tomorrow. I'm running out of time, help!
