| Re: Monterey, CA The drive along the coast is spectacular, with the mountains and ocean side-by-side, reminding us of vacations to Maine. We did the 17-Mile Drive, which takes you through the Pebble Beach golf course, a short distance from Monterey--there was a fee of around $8 for this. The Lone Cypress is a tree jutting out somewhat toward the ocean and is often photographed. We found the book Photo Secrets: San Francisco and Northern California to be very helpful both in terms of what to see and helpful hints on taking good photos--http://www.photosecrets.com/ssf.html. Just walking along the wharf area of Monterey also was very nice, with many restaurants to choose from. |
