I thought I could escape the cold and rainy weather in the Bay Area by taking a weekend vacation to Carmel, but I couldn’t avoid it. I had fun in Carmel, in spite of the rain. The beaches are so beautiful and it was nice being away form the city. I visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium and watched the penguins and sea otters during their feeding time. The next day I visited the Carmel Mission (Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo) which is a must see according to Tripadvisor. The Carmel Mission had the first library in California and was established in the early 1720’s before United States became a country. I’ve never been to Pebble Beach before, so I took my Lexus on 17 Mile Drive. It was very relaxing and had 22 view points of different historic landmarks. Here are some photos from my trip. Enjoy.
How about Hawaii or Florida?
In two days?
Hey Peter I head down there a few times a year to get out of the bay area myself. I never get tired of it. Those are some amazing photos. Let me know next time your headded down there my buddie works at the lodge at Pebble beach I could set you up if you want with a great room.
I wish I knew that last weekend, I spent a fortune on the room I did get. My buddy stays at the lodge and he says it is awesome.
How about giving the Bahamas a visit?
I would love to go to the Bahamas, but it’s a little much for a weekend getaway 🙂
Awesome pictures! I love nature!
Any video? lol
