Barb - We started our day by taking Ike to the dog boarder's in Prunedale. It looked like he would have a nice fenced-in grounds to run and his own bed. He'll be there until Monday. We had breakfast out, and drove on Highway 1 south with the intention of maybe getting to the Big Sur area. However, the morning fog wouldn't give up so we came back to Carmel Valley. We browsed around at the Barnyard shopping plaza which I had remembered liking from my visits a couple of decades ago. I missed finding the combination bookstore/restaurant which used to be there, but that's what happens. We drove down Carmel Valley Road a ways but didn't have our eyes trained for the wineries on that road. We then came back to Monterey and stopped at Fisherman's Wharf where we found a car show being set up - the "Cherry's Jubilee", a fundraiser for the Salinas area hospital. Those cars just can't be antiques! :) I remember almost all of them... We located the other Fishwife restaurant in Seaside (we have been to the other one in Pacific Grove) and enjoyed a good seafood lunch.
Ed - I watched the morning tv traffic report and became firmly convinced that I could never live out here. Many of the Bay area highways were slowed or stopped and one main highway had been stopped for 10 minutes. It was 5 lanes wide on each side and the people were just sitting in their cars waiting to get to a toll booth to move across a bridge. Back to our travels...we left the RV park and headed out on Highway 1 to see the beaches and mountains. However, the fog was so thick and low that we could not see anything off the highway. We then decided to wander around to and drove to the fishing piers to look at the boats and drink beer. We succeeded. Today was the 250th anniversary of the starting of Guinness beer, so we had to help out in the celebration down by the Monterey pier.
