You lucky lady. Did you see Clint Eastwood? (Isn't he or wasn't he the mayor of Carmel?)
Yeah, a beach would be just the ticket right about now. Because “now” is November. In the north. And it's getting frosty. As the country goes to hell in a tea tin. Blech.
We didn't poke around the galleries – we peeked in a yarn store. And I got wet up to my knees playing in the waves. Then we went and had gf pizza and beer in Carmel (the away from the sea bit).
You are indeed lucky..it was cold, wet and rainy a few weekends back. At one point sand from just up the coast was exported to Hawaii, 'cause volcanic beaches are a bit rocky. Clint was mayor back in the 80's…every once in a while you see him around town. Best chance to see him is at a restaurant/hotel he owns-Mission Ranch. Glad to hear that you are enjoying my bit of the world. Fun and Safe journeys.
Sweet! Hope there is a drink in your hand too. *wink*
Looks lovely. I wish I were on the beach with you, preferably holding a margarita, rather than being back in cold, wet England *sigh*.

Miranda: There wasn't… at that point. 😉
Jenre: Apparently it is going to be weather like this for the rest of the week. I lucked out. 🙂
LB: Me too. *grin*
Sigh. That beach sand looks beautiful and powdery. I had to scrape frost off the car windows this morning. *sob*
Enjoy the rest of the trip down the coast.
Nice. I especially like that it doesn't seem to be crowded with people!
I would sooooooo love to be at the beach right now.
Lovely scenery! A drink and a book is all that's needed to make it perfect. Well, that and a couple of hot “cabana boys” too. 😉

FUN!!
We're headed there today!!
Oh looks fun. It's a definite umbrella in the drink moment. 🙂 Hope you're having fun on your drive.
Lucky girl! I'm so glad you're having so much fun. *hugs*
Carmel is beautiful. I was there a few years ago– wish I was there now!
So are you driving down to LA from SF? It's a really pretty drive along the Pacific coast.
When you get to LA, be sure to go to WeHo. And go to The Abbey there. 😀
Tam: It got to the low 90s during some parts of my trip today. I'm sunburned. O.o
Wren: There were a fair amount of tourists coming and going but, yes, there was much space to be had by all. 🙂
Lily: Most of the men seemed to be a wee bit old to be cabana boys, Bummer. 😦
KZ: I practiced my best Clint Eastward impressions to no avail. It was very disappointing. *sigh*
Jase: Yep. 🙂
Chris: Hoped you liked it as much as I did. It was very cute with about a gazillion galleries. Bloody hell.
Tracy: Am having a blast. It's gorgeous country.
Stephani: The weather has been awesome. Everyone keeps telling me how lucky I've been with it.
Thanks Eyre. ((SMOOCHIES))
Richelle: The coast drive is stunning. I spent a lot of time oooing and arring and trying to remember to stay on the 'right' side of the road. LOL.

Eastofeden: It's been absolutely gorgeous even if I didn't get a chance to see Clint. 😛
thank you for your wishes. 🙂
You look like you're having some down time – YAH!
Orannia: I have been lazy the past couple of days. Relatively speaking. It's been lovely meandering. 🙂
