California Dreaming

Countless poems, songs and journeys have been inspired by the golden state of California. This state is massive and there are so many facets to it that it really should be at least three distinct states. There aren't many places on the planet where you can go from bustling city, to snow-capped mountains and then to the desert - all within a few hours.
