Pacific Grove

Seemed a long drive here this morning and seemed longer still the closer we got to Monterey because of the increase in traffic.  Still, we got here with only a few minutes of rain along the way.  By mid-afternoon all the clouds had cleared and we were back to sunny skies.

Coincidentally, the hotel where we're staying is directly across the street from the hotel we stayed in several years ago with Pat, Ed, Evelyn and Vic.  In fact, I took a photo of the table we sat around in the evening for a good laugh and happy hour.

The last time the six of us came up here was in October 2005.  We drove up in the RV and had a condo for a couple of days.  Found this awful photo (forgot camera was on black and white, plus  the flash on the camera reflected in the window).  Oh well, it's still nostalgia.




After all the years coming here, we finally found the Point Pinos Lighthouse open

From the lighthouse looking toward the golf course and ocean.  Love the gnarled trees here.
