Point Lobos - Carmel

Carmel very much deserves to be called "Carmel-by-the-sea." 

The beach was gorgeous, pristine, and full of children braving the water enthusiastically.

We finally made it to Point Lobos, the most beautiful  meeting of land and sea in the world (according to Nick's grandparents' guidebook).

We combed through tide pools full of anenomes....

...saw an otter (we think), sea lions at a distance, two deer grazing...

.....and this tiny fish. 

It was the perfect day for a sandwich. 

And so we had four. 

 Nick let me go around the whole park, until (exhausted), we sat on a bench and just looked and looked and looked.
