Day 173 - Trees & Tacky!!!

Photo of the day has to be the grim reaper!!! As it had started raining in Carmel - Little Miss Sunshine came to the rescue!!


As you can see from the picture we had lunch at the Tree House Cafe, where we sat outside under umbrellas in the Carmel drizzle - I had the delicious Monterey Clam Chouder washed down with a cheeky lunchtime glass of Merlot!

Trees in various forms had a major theme today, the first was while having my oatmeal for breakfast in the Old Monterey Cafe I saw this sign:


After brekkie we hit the 17-Mile Drive, which is said to be one of the most famous scenic drives in the world! And it is....gorgeous beaches, stunning views and iconic trees...

The Lone Cypress:


And the Ghost Tree:


After the scenic drive and our lunch in Carmel, to Melissa's excitement we drove to Santa Cruz - the home of The Lost Boys!

Great fun as we wandered the tacky funfair, most of which was closed as its not the high season.  But both Nat and me made some friends and also found some mirrors that enhanced our gorgeousness!!


********Urgent Update********

As Tree is part of today's theme I had to update the blog and attach this photographic gem!  After happy hour, wine and a tasty pasta dinner on the way back to our hotel Melissa spotted this sign....good night all!!!
