Alright, so the song is actually San Jose and not Monterey, but I am lacking any creative juices at the moment. Last week Matt had to be at a parole hearing in Soledad, so we tagged along and stayed in Monterey.
The aquarium was amazing. We spent most of the day there just in awe. Unfortunately, we had very few sea otter sitings, which was a bit disapointing, but a great time was had by all.
We had a lot of fun exploring beaches and tide pools on the 17 mile drive and Point Lobos.
This is the Lonely Cypress. It is an amazing sight, however, Kendall was more interested in the squirrels.
This looks like an ordinary surfing picture. What you can't see is the shore which is very rocky and dangerous. I'm not sure how they get back on shore when they are done. Also, it was in the low 60's out so I can only imagine the water was unbelievably cold, not to mention they were wearing hoods with their wetsuits.
These are sea elephants hanging out on random beach. They are huge and smelly, but fun to see.
Matt surprised us with tickets to Hearst Castle. It is amazing how money doesn't necessarily buy taste. This was very gawdy and ornate with all kinds of mixed styles, but very fun to see.
