Pebble Beach The Inn At Spanish Bay

We packed up and went for a practice trip down to Pfeiffer State Park in Big Sur on Tuesday. The camp site was great; on the river with almost the whole park to ourselves. What a beautiful place to camp.
The tent went up without incident.
The food was great, thanks to Steve.....shrimp,asparagus and potatoes for dinner and breakfast burrito the next morning.

We have a ...

... caught up on sleep after San Fran. Up at 9am and headed towards Fisherman's Wharf and looked in lots of gift shops. Rich got tempted by clam chowder so we had lunch on the pier, sitting next to lots of huge pelicans outside the window! Very scary. Then drove down Cannery Row, named after a John Steinbeck novel! Went in a shop that sold things that ...

Sumner disappeared quickly up the cliffs and mountains, trying to make it to the top of the falls. He made it to the top to see where the river fell down and struggled a bit coming down. From our view at the bottom it looked like he was properly rock climbing...down. He looked completely vertical trying to come down those cliffs...I'm still not sure that was a great idea, but I bet the view was awesome. Although I missed it

... on the high street of fresh homemade half sandwiches and soup for a very reasonable price of $5 each. I saw a hummingbird in some foliage but it was gone before I could take a picture, doh! We drove down the road to the missionary church which was on the outskirts of the town which was very pretty but we didn't want to pay to go in, so we just ended up taking pictures of the outside and nice garden (which is only what we wanted to see anyway!). We ...

... who founded the Meeting (which later became part of the College Park Association, a distinct branch of Quakers), and of Rufus Jose, a well known early 20th-century Quaker theologian and writer who spoke there a number of times while he was a lecturer in religious studies at Stanford University. After an abundant and creative potluck dinner we gave our presentation which was followed by an inspiring discussion. Ivy Iverson, our San Jose contact, had filled ...

This morning I got up super early. Its kinda fun not having a cell phone but its a ***** when you have to walk 5 minutes to the nearest payphone. I had to call Rivolye. Today is her birthday. When I got back to the hotel, Mati was downstairs having breakfast. It's strange when breakfast is included in the price of your hotel room in America. It's totally normal in Israel. This was a good ...

... a bakery. It's definately a must see in San Francisco. Keegan and I also teamed up on a computer game to test your baking skills and won a loaf of sour dough bread. -Chris To top the day off we hit a Giants baseball game. Again, the weather was picture perfect and the AT&T Stadium is probably the nicest stadium in the country. Just built in 2000, it looks like the older traditional stadiums.(Fenway, Rigley...), but it is 'state of the art.' They ...

We visited a Mission ( influence from the Mexicans) – lovely old church & Mexican architecture.

... River, drains it. its water would cover California in 14 inches of water. There was more but this is all I remember. Sorry our Austrian readers, that I'm talking feet, miles and inches but you can do the conversions yourself! Tomorrow we are off to London for a week because Sean has a few important meetings. I don't really want to leave California but we'll see Caimin, Jim, Kate and Lucy, Steve, Tracey, Joshua and Matthew over there, so that'll be nice.
