Got into Monterey Bay last night and celebrated a late Thanksgiving with a nice feast of yams, pork, broccoli (courtesy of the Captain), and persimmon pudding from the Greens cookbook. Not the greatest idea to make a persimmon pudding in a hot water bath in a rockin and rollin anchorage! After a sleepless night we opted for splurging and paying $20 for a slip here in Monterey. What a relief to step onto shore and take a nice hot shower. We spent the day using our legs (also really nice), treating ourselves to breakfast at a cute little organic café downtown called the Plum Bakery & Café, and walking along the coastal recreational trail through Monterey and Pacific Grove.
It was a beautiful day and really nice to get off the boat and walk for a change.
Saw sealions, dolphins, pelicans, egrets, and cute little sea otters too!
Stopped at a great used bookstore on the way back…I bought a conversational Spanish book, and Andy picked up a couple books on fishing and a seafood cookbook. I have high hopes for conversing in Spanish, and Andy – hopes to catch some fish and eat it too. Splurged again and opted for dining out at a burger joint downtown. Gotta get the burgers, fries, & milkshakes in while we can! Picked up some fresh veggies & meat at the grocery store, and threw in a load of laundry. Tomorrow morning we leave early…destination undetermined…Morro Bay if we’re ambitious. We shall see.
