We drove through town (one of my favorite places, because the buildings are so quaint) then along the road close to the beach. The houses look like they're right out of a storybook, but at a hefty price tag in the multi-millions $$$$.
We also stopped for a few minutes at the Carmel Mission
and discovered that St. Kevin is the Patron Saint of Blackbirds/Ireland. And did you know that Lawrence is the Patron Saint of Chefs and Comedians? Who comes up with these things?
Saint Andrew is the Patron Saint against fever. Sorry, there's no Saint Amy or Erin that I can find yet. These are some medallians on sale at the mission gift shop in case you need to ward off chefs and comedians...oh maybe that's to protect them...After we left town we drove south along the highway and Kevin took us to his favorite spot for tidepooling and climbing on rocks (one of his favorite sports). We did lots of climbing and exploring, we watched the sea otters and checked out the interesting creatures in the tidepools. By the end of the day we were windblown, a little sunburned, tired and coated with sea salt but had a great time!
Hmmm, I'm not able to post my otter picture or my storybook cottage picture, but maybe another day.
Oh and Kevin arrives here at midnight tonight as a pitstop on his way to Texas. He may be here for a couple of days and we're SO thrilled to be able to spend a little bit of time with him.
