Carmel By The Sea & 17 mile drive


Actually this is part of the Spring Break trip, but I omitted to mention in the 2 entries below (this gives you an idea of how much we have done during this break, that I can't keep track of all the places we went to when I was typing the blog entries...)

We drove to Carmel and the 17 mile drive (at Pebble Beach) on Tuesday 27th March. Carmel is a quaint and picturesque town by the Pacific coast with lots of galleries, eateries and houses owned by rich folks. It was nice to stroll down the streets just window shopping and people watching...

Paid $9 entrance fee to drive along the famous 17 mile drive with various points of interest along the way, including the Lone Cypress (purported to be "one of California's most enduring landmarks" - the cypress tree has "prevailed on its rocky perch for over 250 years"), exclusive mansions and of course, the famed Pebble beach golf course...it was extremely windy that day, so I wondered how those guys managed to play golf on the greens when we drove past the course...

This is the link to the pictures taken that day:
