Monday morning, we left Monterey early and drove west. We stopped by Lover’s Point where I took these next two pictures.
We then drove the 17 mile drive through Pebble Beach. We stopped at Carmel by-the-Sea for a great breakfast at Kate’s Place and to browse around some of the stores. Whenever I hear or see the name Carmel by-the-Sea, it reminds me of my paternal grandmother as she lived in a little village in England called Knott end-on-Sea, England. To differeniate her from my other Grandmother, we called her Grandma by-the-Sea. My other grandmother lived near a castle ruins, so we enjoyed visiting there too.
After leaving Carmel, we drove down the Pacific Coast Highway and saw miles and miles of gorgeous coastline. Maybe not the best idea with a broken car, but how could we pass up such beauty to drive interstate? We made it back to my house and the first thing we did was say a prayer for the car making it.
