And we have tomorrow off, as well!




Another lovely day in Monterey. Point Lobos State Reserve was bee-you-tea-full. We saw sea lions, harbor seals, otters, and deer. In fact, I was dancing down the trail and singing "Shake Your Groove Thing" when Eric went into full-on shush-mode and pointed out the two deer.

They weren't at all bothered by the singing and dancing, and we watched them for a long while.

We ate our picnic lunch at a table that overlooked the ocean, and saw many, many, spouts of water from whales.

We walked & walked & had a really nice time there.



We weren't very interested in the various Retail Experiences available to us here. Carmel was a buncha fancy stores, and Monterey is a buncha slightly less fancy stores. You can't swing a cat on Cannery Row without hitting a purveyor of fudge. And that's just an expression, Corinne. There was no actual swinging of cats!

We had a nice dinner at a restaurant that claimed to be Hawaiian, but was really PanAsianCarib. I had a coconut encrusted chicken breast with a lilikoi glaze, sticky rice, black beans, and plantains. Eric had a fish soup w/ coconut, ginger, and lime broth, fish, shrimp, and udon noodles. Deelish!

It's so nice to get away!
