Lighthouses
There is no way to explain the lighthouses!! They are so pretty and fun to see. We saw two -- one was the Bodie Lighthouse that is not open to the public (the one with horizontal stripes) so we were only able take pictures in front of it. The other one is the Cape Hattaras Lighthouse. Because B couldn't go up in it, Z, me and my sister climbed it first and then Jer climbed it by himself. We climbed about 268 steps to the top and the view was breathtaking. One of the pictures shows a path far below and Jer and B are on that path. In 1999 this lighthouse was actually moved 2900 feet from its original position. Because of erosion and storms, the lighthouse was in danger of not being stable and falling into the ocean so for 23 days they slowly moved it to its current day position.
