3:10 to Yuma vs. 5.09 to Big Sur

OMG!!! So the first couple of days have been jammed packed with biking hiking and driving and more walking then I wanted to do. The first morning we went on a walk to the bay and it was amazing to see the marina and all of the seals on the shore they were really funny. We met the current managers and the employees of our little store and it's interesting. We went all over the place and I am tired.
The second morning the hotel front desk told us we had to head to Big Sur and eat at this one resturant there. She had given us quick directions and off we went. I thought it would be a good idea to get gas at the time but we had a quarter of a tank and thought we could get some later so we started on our trip. We ended up stopping first at Point Lobos National Park and it was awesome to be in a forest campground that was surrounded by coastlines. It was a beautiful place and would recommend it. However I am not so sure I would do the same for Big Sur. We drove the coast and it was beautiful, but we could never find the amazing resturant and it was frusterating. And then we were running out of gas and decided to pull over in Big Sur just to put enough in to get us home. When we pulled up to the pump a guy came out to fill us up. We looked at the pump and noticed that it said 3.84 so we thought we might as well fill up because that is how much it costs out here anyways. Well then the attentent started washing our window and we got distracted long enough to realize that our tank was almost full and instead of it cost 3.84 a gallon like we thought...it was 5.09 for 1 gallon of GAS!!!! Needless to say I don't think we will be going back down that was for a little while.
