I’m a little behind – arrived in Carmel last Sunday and now it’s Friday 12/17. Leaving here for San Mateo for 2 nights, then El Granada for about 2 weeks. And then? I don’t know yet!
I was lucky – it was about a 4 1/2 hour drive from Santa Barbara to Carmel and a storm was coming. I arrived in Carmel just as it started sprinkling. And then it just downpoured for hours! I got to Carmel around 4pm so didn’t do much that first day.
Here are some photos – first up is my room at the Hotel Carmel. Very nice!
The lobby has a tape deck and a bunch of tapes
I got something to eat at Brophy’s which is connected to the motel. Here’s one of the walls:
Next day I went for a walk around town:
This Ganesha was in an art gallery I went in (there are tons of them here)
Beach parking on Ocean Ave
Yes, I know there are a ton of beach photos, but it’s so pretty here! Next day I took a walking tour that was pretty interesting. I’ll put that in a separate post. Til next time!
