A great day in Monterey today. Joe was a great host (except he doesn't want me to tell you that). We started out the day going to a local bagel place. Yummy! The we spent a couple of hours walking around historic Monterey. We saw a lot of the original homes and buildings. I really enjoyed all of the gardens throughout the town and also the jail and Colton Hall, where the first constitution of California was signed. Did you know that Monterey was the first capital of California? I didn't.
After seeing all of the historic buildings that I was interested in, we drove down to Carmel. We drove around for a while, and then walked through the shopping district. It was super cute, but totally geared towards tourists. Lots of art galleries and little shops. Very cute.
From there, we made our way over to 17-mile drive in pebble beach. That was absolutely beautiful. Lots to see. We eventually made it to Spanish Bay, where a bagpiper walks in from the beach close to sunset. This was one of those unique experiences that this trip is about (please excuse the grammatical error there). It was just perfect. Fire pit, glass of wine, music, sunset, and good company - what more could a girl ask for?
After that we went back over to The Sardine Factory for dinner where I had filet minon sliders - amazing! Exhausted again from a full day, I made the decision to call it an "early" night. Looking forward to another amazing experience tomorrow!!!!
