Bixby Bridge (California)

Sometimes, postcards can over-sell the area or object that they’re depicting. People who have never had the pleasure of driving along Highway 1 in California along the Pacific Coast might see this and think it’s another of those over-sells. But having visited Big Sur and the famous Bixby Bridge here on multiple occasions, I can tell you that this view is 100% real.

The postcard itself arrives from two of my students from this past summer, Jialu and Chunlin, who were both a delight to have in class as much as they are in person. They seem to be taking ample advantage of living in California and take every opportunity they can to refresh themselves with a road trip or a visit to Monterey. They are absolutely doing it right!
