Carmel by the Sea

March 2, 2026

Adjacent to the Pebble Beach Golf course, we walked a portion of the beach.

Misidentification of anything is on me.

We wandered the town for a while too, and had a good lunch. On the way back home we stopped for groceries to make a coconut curry with cod. We got everything on our list and were checking out when Pooh noticed that we hadn’t gotten any cod 🙄. Finished checking out, and then went back for the cod. At least we had not driven home. Cod was not on the list because it was so obvious.

Dinner is done, over 10,000 steps, time to relax.

Fisherman’s Wharf

The Monterey version. It was warm, if you were in the sun, and more importantly, out of the wind. I was comfortable with a jacket.

The flora. Patterns abound.

And some fauna

Rocks
Rocks, aka Harbor Seals, that move
Sea Lion
Starfish
Rockfish – Returned to the bay soon after this picture was taken

We also saw a sea otter. There were lots of water birds too, but nothing that I could successfully photograph.

Boats

A lovely lunch of clam chowder, garlic bread, and caprese salad.

Nicely presented for sharing with 3 people

Dinner of leftover spaghetti and a salad rounded out a successful day.
