Monterey Bay Outing

January 4, 2015|Richard Nikoley||

I’ve got  a major post coming tomorrow, part 2 in the hormesis series. In the meantime, just a couple of photos from the Monterey Bay area which is characteristically beautiful this time of year.

Yesterday we headed down to attend Holly’s wedding at the Monterey Plaza Hotel on Cannery Row. Beatrice was her teacher for both 4th and 5th grades back in about 2000ish. Holly’s mother and Bea are both teachers who’ve been good friends since before Holly was born.

This morning after checking out, we headed down the peninsula a bit and ended up at the Highlands Inn for breakfast—ending up booking a future 2-night stay. Here’s a couple of reasons why (click for the HD versions).

Bea had a nice zucchini frittata and I, a dungeness crab omelet with spinach and goat cheese.

…Until tomorrow.

      Dr Gee:

      Make sure you go to Friar Tuck’s for breakfast sometime. In Carmel. Always a walk when I stay in the village.

    Part II of the hormesis series coming! I can’t wait. I’ve just read Part I again and it’s even better than I remembered.
