Today we did an auto tour (that's what we'll call it when there is very little time out of the car!) First I have to whine just a little bit about traffic. Yes people it is up here in this area big time and to make matters worse it is the weekend and the weather has been gorgeous so naturally all the peoples are out and about - yuck!
On the way we again drove through beautiful fields of produce! Lots and lots of good stuff growing here. I don't see any complaints along the road about a lack of water like we did along the 5 but I don't think they have an overabundance here, just not complaining openly about it. Lots of sprinklers going like crazy in all the fields. I just wish I could identify what the plants are. We saw sunflowers today and these plants growing on trellises - beans perhaps or some sort of berries?
Ok so we headed first to Santa Cruz. Our destination was the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Neat place, a boardwalk with a full fledged amusement park with roller coasters and bumper cars and an arcade. The whole nine yards. But lots and lots of people! We wandered quite a bit and if an open parking space presented itself we would have grabbed it, but no such luck. So we concluded our auto tour and hit the road for Monterey.
We then hit the road for Monterey. Again of course lots of people - everywhere - so we trolled along the coast and the bay and made a few little stops. Then used Yelp to find a good place for lunch. Found a small little place on a golf course in Pacific Grove with a nice view of the bay. It was good, we had meatball sandwiches, but nothing we'd go back for. I'm starting to crave a really good home cooked meal. Cooking in an RV has been a challenge for me and cooking on propane is not like regular gas or electricity. I'm not especially known for being a good cook, but I hope to do some research and get some ideas for things to cook in an RV. Anyway, I digress, here are a few pics from Monterey. Some of the family should recognize some of these spots.
Is that where we took pictures with the fam? Out on the rocks?
ReplyDeleteYes I believe this is the same area.
