A bit further north, Highway 1 turned inland and briefly joined with Highway 101 near San Luis Obispo before separating again. We followed Highway 1 back out to the coast and the town of Morro Bay. The shops along the water were busy with tourists and parking was at a premium. I was pleased to find the 6 Series a snap to parallel park, using the Park Distance Control to ensure the pristine bumpers remained unscratched. As we searched the street for a restaurant, a little place called Giovanni's with a take-out window and outdoor seating on a dock caught our eye. There were easily 20 people in line waiting to place an order, so Jeff and I figured it must be good. Their seafood was by far the freshest we'd ever tasted as we sat on the dock and gazed out at Morro Rock (picture the rock in the Prudential insurance logo and you'll be close) a natural habitat for the peregrine falcon.
We stopped for the night in Cambria, an artist's community with unique galleries and shops. Our room at the Pelican Suites had an ocean view and the famous Moonstone Beach was just steps away, but we had one more stop we wanted to make before ending our day. We knew sunset would be the ideal time, so after unloading our gear, we ventured out once again.
