D.s. & Durga It's A Very BIG Sur. A 3-wick Perfumed Candle Hand-cast In A Reusable Porcelain Black bowl By Sarah Cihat With 22k White Gold Detailing

For breathtaking American vistas, I think Big Sur hovers somewhere at the top of the list. The river running down through the mountains hits the fog covered sea. Sunsets over the pacific are next level. You can feel the magnetic pull of Asia on the other side of the vast water.

As you drive down highway 1—top down, motorway music, the winds whipping—your car bends around each corner discovering a new jaw dropping bridge, private beach, or sonorous mountain. Poets and mystics populate the magic place. And the flora of the California coast is extremely varied. By Big Sur, you have a wonderful micro climate from the heat and the fog.

Redwoods and other conifers hide groves off the side of the road. Eucalyptus abounds.
