Although I wanted to spend our off weekend visiting Reno, NV it seems that none of my friends were that impressed with the idea of Reno. Apparently it is not a place worth visiting (I’m still not convinced of this fact…how could you not want to go to the biggest little city?). So after much debate we chose to spend our off weekend on the Coast of California in Monterey. This was probably a good choice seeing as it might be the most stunning place I have visited in the United States. The water looks like something you would see in a painting or on a movie, not something that truly exists. Driving into Carmel we took the 17-mile drive. The 17-mile drive is like driving through a nature reserve with stops along the way to see different natural wonders. We stopped and saw sea lions and birds laying on a rock, we met some crazy squirrels that wanted to jump into my arms, we saw the oldest standing cypress tree in the area, a bunch of golf courses, some very large houses, and gorgeous waves crashing upon the rocks. It was a visual overload it.
We spent the first half of our morning walking around Fisherman’s wharf in Monterrey, where we saw sea lions playing and a lot of sailboats! After the 17-mile drive we walked along a beach which was below Pebble beach golf course…I think that it might be one of the most beautiful golf courses ever…it’s literally on the ocean! Basically it was a great way to get away from Sactown and just relax! I highly suggest everyone visiting California’s coast, it is really something else!
