Carmel

Our RV club has enjoyed the temporary addition of Paul and Carol from Rochester, NY and Rich and Manni from San Jose. As you can see, they fit right in. Today we bid them safe travels and hope to see them again on the road.

This was another fabulous day in Monterey County, blue skies, light winds, shirt sleeve warm. Part of our group went shopping, the rest went hunting in Point Lobos. They were successful and found whales, dolphins, seals and egrets. Paul, a most helpful docent, provided information on Monterey marine life.

For us it was perfect for another 10K Volksmarch. This one took us into Carmel. We climbed up a wooded trail to Ocean Avenue where we wandered past the exclusive shops. A luscious tidbit at the bakery kept us going to the beach where the surf churned and the water was appropriately aquamarine

We also found our next house and we don’t even have to change the street name. We thought we had a nice view from our Scenic Drive but it is dull compared to the one from the same street name in Carmel where multimillion dollar homes add a multimillion dollar panorama of the Pacific.

We finished with a walk past Mission Carmel. This walk rates in our top five favorites.

Our lunch of crab/shrimp Louis salad at Sea Harvest was delicious.

For our grand finale dinner the core Springfield RV group took a recommendation from the wine server at Ventana and enjoyed a scrumptious dinner at Monterey Fish House. We all dined well on oysters, scallops, crab cakes and shrimp. And for those of you who have been wondering, here is our meal photo.
