It was a wonderful
evening spent on Cannery Row checking out the views and beverages. At one
establishment with large glass panels to block the wind coming off the bay, and
outside propane heaters to warm the surroundings I ordered shrimp
cocktail. Our server said she had to
warn me that the cocktail only came with two shrimp.
Two Costco shrimp some tartar sauce on a large plate, is
what she brought to our table. We ordered some other goodies, and when she
brought them she informed us she was going on break, and John would take care
of us. John came out and asked how we were doing, we asked for some more bread,
and it was a very long time before he returned without any. Watching Monterey bay made up for the lack of
service.
We thought aboot going to the Monterey bay Aquarium but
after some coffee we discover legions of breeders with their broods in tow, all
heading to the Aquarium. We opted for the bay, and the opportunity to shoot
another light house.

We discovered lots of rocks. I thought Tide pools might be
out on those rocks. The water was so clear. The air was so warm, and other
people were way out on those rocks, that I forgot all the rules aboot walking
out into the ocean on rocks.
The Incoming Tide Would Submerge This Part Of The Trail
Rule number 1. Know your tides! Rule 2. Wear you’re short
pants into the sea, not your trousers. #3. Have sea shoes, and avoid tracking
the beach into Impala. #4 Forget all the rules and just go for it.

Yes the tide was incoming, and the rocks submerged for our return
to land. It was actually easier, and lots more fun to just walk in the waves.
But as I discovered later walking around Pacific Grove wet shoes are heavy.
All in all we saw Seals,
whales, dolphins, deer, birds and finally fields of artichokes. It’s all aboot
eating our way up the coast of California.
