OCTOBER 12, 2011.  Today we went total tourist and took a coach tour! It was pretty fantastic, actually. Our driver was amazing, the scenery, superb. We took HWY 1 down the coast, stopped at a nice bakery for snacks in Davenport, onto Monterey where we spent two hours at the Aquarium, 17-mile drive through Pebble Beach and ended in Carmel. Here are some pics to enjoy.

The beautiful California coast between SF and Monterey.

With the sun at our backs, Davenport.

Acres and acres of artichokes.

My favourite little beach spot at Pacific Grove.

The Lone Cypress; the icon of Pebble Beach.

The Mission at Carmel.

Snack stop in Carmel, yum.
