elf1  > Travel > Drive to Monterey July 27 2008
Monterey, California. My sister and bro-in-law were in the mood for a quick dash to Monterey for the afternoon. So, what the heck, I want along. Turned out to be a cool and overcast day, with enough reflected light to really wash out the sky, but not enough to allow my cheap snapshot camera enough light to focus confidently. But I had good fun, good company, good food, and some interesting things to snapshot.

elf1 > Tillie Gorts. Voted the best place in Monterey for vegetarian meals, for low-fat dining, for healthy dining, or all of the above pretty much every year for the last 20 years or so. They also have nonvegan foods. I had a tasty Mediterranean Platter with dolmas, hummus, like that. And enough for tomorrow's lunch, too.
elf1 > After visiting the Presidio (where I was soundly repelled for trying to take photos on a military base, even though there was a cute spotted fawn RIGHT THERE in front of us), we drove wayyyy down the hill to Cannery Row. Wayyyyyy.  Dowwwwwwn.
elf1 > The Cannery Row area is overflowing with entertaining things to look at. This restaurant has not only a sign, but a boat, too.
elf1 > Who could resist these statue-like seagulls on these vent pipes?
elf1 > Sis and Bro-in-law strolling past the Monterey Canning Co building. No more canning goes on here, though.
elf1 > While they wait for their photographer fiend--er, friend--to catch up, this nice lady comes by and provides coupons for $$ off Ghirardelli sundaes! How sweet! Considering... guess where we're headed anyway...
elf1 > Yessss! Ghirardelli chocolateer.  And the hot-fudge sundaes were tasty, too.
elf1 > Bro-in-law and sis do a little artsy fartsy window shopping on their way through.
elf1 > Next, we went to investigate the brand-new luxury hotel taking up both sides of the street.
