Carmel

KOA, Moss Landing, Monterey Bay, CA:  Woke up to the harbor seals again this morning.  And it was really socked in.  Did a load of laundry while there was a washer available.  After the laundry and a quick lunch we drove south again to Carmel.  The drive along Monterey Bay on the PCH is very pretty with huge sand dunes covered with carpets of flowering vegetation.  We’re surrounded by huge tracts of rich farmland and there are little produce stands around where we can buy fresh produce—right out of the field.  Got to Carmel, parked, and walked around browsing the shops.  Stopped at a local watering hole and got talking to a bunch of locals which was very entertaining.  Stopped at the Hog’s Breath Inn which Clint Eastwood used to own.  He doesn’t any more.  Drove around a little and then came back to our neat little fishing village and had dinner at Phil’s Fish Market and Eatery.  Came highly recommended.  It was so-so.  The sun finally came out when we got back.  63 today.
