Central Coast

Pebble Beach golf course in the distance...

I love the beach. The smell of the salt water, the warmth of the sun, and the sound of the surf roaring in and crashing ashore. And then, there is the art and architecture. And shopping. And lush foliage. This is Carmel. So nice to get away for a few days.

Great shop name.

Classic cottage at the corner of Ocean Avenue and the Pacific.

This is my house in the next life. Ocean front property.

The local artists' cooperative gallery and a superfantabuloso place to buy art.

Tree at the Normany Inn Cottages.

The Inn kitty keeps a close watch on Ocean Ave...

The restaurant where we ate dinner. More tomorrow.

Happy Fourth of July, everyone.
