Carmel and Pacific Grove, Part One

Ricardo and I took just a little overnight trip down to Carmel and Pacific Grove on the Monterey Peninsula. We had the best time. Day one was warm and sunny: perfect beach weather. We mostly spent it at Carmel at Ocean Beach and Carmel State Beach by the river. Oh, and looking at the shops. I bought I hat, which I haven't for a year. I was seriously overdue. It is a 20s style, cloche I think they call it. Real cute. But on to the pictures.



Ocean Beach in Carmel. A kind dog posed for me. Lots of dogs running free on the beach. Gorgeous views.



Some surfers were catching waves off Ocean Beach. If you can see I caught this guy just in the middle of his ride.



This is Carmel State Beach by the River in Carmel. Very rough seas here, but brilliant blue.



We also stopped at the Carmel Mission. This is the larger of the two towers I believe.
