It's been a couple days so here goes the recap of Wednesday and Thursday....
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 2007
We're settling into the peaceful life in Carmel, CA. Took it easy today with a walk down to the clubhouse on the grounds of Carmel Valley Ranch, took in a continental breakfast and proceeded to do a little shopping in town. Later that night we had a nice dinner at a local Japanese restaurant called Robata.

This morning we went into Carmel by the Sea. Needless to say, it is one of the most affluent communities I've ever seen. If I ever need antiques, artwork, and a smoking jacket, I now know where to go.
After checking out the town, we hopped back into the Prius and drove the famed "17-mile Drive" - a scenic road through Pacific Grove and Pebble Beach. There were lots of great sites to be seen, including: 1)Huckleberry Hill: one of the highest elevations in the forest; 2)Spanish Bay: a scenic picnic stop; 3)Bird Rock: landmark and home to countless shorebirds; 4)and The Lone Cypress: the eternal symbol of the Pebble Beach Company.
Once we completed the drive, we traveled down Sunset Drive which turned into Ocean View Boulevard and made our way to the Cannery Row section of Monterey, CA. It was touristy, but hey, "When in Rome...". We had a decent lunch sitting outside at Lou Linguini's.
That night, we went back to Carmel by the Sea and had one of the best dinners I've ever had at L'Auberge, which will surely warrant its own blog entry.
