Friday, September 18, 2009 Back to the coast and Beautiful Day at Monterey!

We do the tourist tour around the gardens and old houses of the old town of Monterey. And we visit the house where the first California Constitution was signed.
We go down to the warf and sample all the clam chowders from all the restaurants on the Fisherman’s Warf! They were all so tasty – hard to choose the best one. So we had to keep trying! On the shoreline we see pelicans and seals, lying in the most amazing postures.












We also encounter a quite cheeky squirrel who bites Gerrit’s leg!
Then we took a long bike ride along the shore. Past lover point and on the Asilomar. What an amazing shoreline it is! We saw nothing when we were here before because of the fog. Now it is perfect weather day and we see it all.












And of course, there is the typical most amazing sunset complete with colored houses reflecting in the sea and ship and birds flying! We sleep by the coast by Asilomar Retreat Center
