Monterey

Lee and I went to Monterey for the weekend!

Our hotel was amazing!

 The view!!

Yay!

We are TERRIBLE at taking these kinds of pictures

We went to the wharf and Cannery Row

 Boats on the wharf

Looking across the bay, I thought I saw Salinas.  Gross.

Don't be fooled by this charming exterior

If you look closely, something far more sinister lurks inside...

HEY!  What are those seals doing?!?!!

That's right: 

The candy store was nothing more than a front for a house of sea-animal porn!

 I did manage to buy this taffy.

It tasted like freedom

 The sights at dinner were much more pleasant.  

We saw zero stuffed sea animals having sex.

Later, there was Ghirardelli! 

 

 Probably this sign is hanging above the gates of Heaven.

Lee went mad with anticipation

While he recovered from his psychosis, I swooped in for the kill.

There was no time for spoons.

Amen.  He must have had the ice cream.

Just when we thought we would never recover from the ice cream, I remembered that my friend from high school, Evan, and his band were playing at a local bar!

 NUHS class of 2002!

 Their drummer wears a bear suit

The following day Lee took me to Lover's Point

Robin and Lee talk about Lover's Point:

Lee: "This is where the fishermen's wives used to wait for their husbands to come home from sea."

Robin: "Oh, that's cute."

Lee: "Yeah, and if the fishermen didn't come home the wives would throw themselves off the cliff into the ocean."

(Robin shoots him a look of disbelief)

Lee: (laughing) "That's what REAL love is."

Robin: "I think you're full of shit."

I LOVE MONTEREY.

I'll post pictures from the aquarium later.  

I'm tired from watching all those fish.
