Today was a lazy day. Went out for breakfast and then drove around the Monterey Bay shore in the early morning fog. Kind of neat - as we drove by the Pacific Grove Golf Course, we saw a deer contently munching grass at the par three Really cool weather, temperature around 55 degrees. We had made arrangements to play golf this afternoon at Rancho Canada in Carmel. We called Pacific Grove, but they were really busy and couldn't guarantee Vi and I could play by ourselves. Rancho Canada was very helpful, so we decided to drive out there and explore the area. There are two courses - East and West and we were scheduled on East.
As it turned out, we had the course almost to ourselves - no one ahead of us and no one behind.us. It was a neat course with lots of trees and it crossed the Carmel River several times. Course was in pretty good shape, although the West Course looked more pristine. Gave us some practice and we took full advantage of the opportunity. We're not used to playing at sea level, although I'm not sure that made any difference. We did appreciate the cool weather.
After playing, we came back home and then went out to dinner at El Torrito's on the Monterey waterfront. Great views and good food. Drove around the point again - there were even people still playing at Pacific Grove, although I'm not sure how they could see the ball in the fog. The deer were still out and several crossed the road. They were unsure which way to go and held up traffic for several minutes.
We're leaving tomorrow and heading back to Reno. Not sure exactly how we're heading back, but I'm sure we'll figure it out somewhere on the way back.
