Monterey, CA

 It was supposed to be raining heavily while we were here, but we got lucky. Woke to a beautiful day.
After noticing a near flat tire pulling in last night we were able to order, pick up and get a new one on the trailer today and all before noon! It's always something.
Rode the bikes and did some site seeing. Old homes/buildings history and the ocean with our final stop being Cannery Row (made famous thru Steinbeck's stories.) So interesting (and sad) that within a 25-30 year period we almost wiped out an entire species in this area; sardines.  So to overcome our sadness we had to go to Ghirardelli Chocolates, the true reason I come to California.
Tomorrow we should be in Los Padre's Nat'l Forest.
Today's wildlife sitings: otters, Harbor seals, seagull (&family) and pellies.
