We left Mike and Sharron after breakfast at their local restaurant. Again we had had a great time with them and it was sad to leave. They had recommended that we stopped off at Nepenthe for a coffee so we headed off to San Francisco via Route 1 ...
Decision Just Made
So after much deliberation I finally decided on Africa. As much as I mulled over the decision, I'm now realizing it was the decision I was thinking about and not Africa! As I look at the less than $400 in my bank account and consider the $4000 for the ...
Monterey & Pebble Beach

Springtime in Pacific Grove
One of the most amazing things about Monterey is the plant life. From ice plant to kelp beds, nowhere, in all of my travels, have I ever come across such bright bouquets and curious varieties of flowers. as on the Pacific Central Coast. With ...
Monterey - the 17 mile drive
