October 26, Tuesday Monterey Day 56

This morning we managed to resolve some Park issues by moving to another site, which enabled us to at least get the bus level.  Last night we had to raise up the rear end so much we felt the emergency brake was probably ineffective.  The refrigerator was also at such an angle that it could not function well, also the internet was sporadic.  So we had a bad night, but all is well this evening especially since our new site has great internet.
After our repositioning we left for Santa Cruz, north 40 miles.  This is a wonderful town, the beach boardwalk and municipal wharf are we think, the best we’ve seen.  There were shops, restaurants, amusement park and more seals!
Ruth it was wonderful that we caught you home today while we were watching the seals, so glad you got to hear them too!  They were so interesting to watch, snapping and snarling at each other, then robbing their heads together affectionately.  The noise they made almost drowned out our conversation.  Glad to hear you enjoyed your bridge game today, you are just an amazing lady!
We then travelled along
West Cliff Drive
to the lighthouse and Natural Bridges Beach.
(More pictures)  What an incredible coast line, it’s the best we have seen this entire trip.  We started our return trip across Santa Cruz to
East Cliff Drive
that took us into Capitola, which is a really nice little town that a person could spend time exploring.  We went through Aptos and back on Highway 101 to Monterey with a stop at a fresh veg’s & fruit roadside stand for some good food to bring home.  Round trip was less than 100 miles.
We had a wonderful day, with great weather and great sight seeing and yes Ruth good conversation.  Also good to talk to you too Shirley H, sorry we interrupted the sorority meeting!  Forgot to say Shirley K, Paul, Peter & Alex it was good to see you Sunday night even if we could not hear each other!
Tomorrow we are thinking of Pismo Beach http://www.pismocoastvillage.com/ maybe even the Hearst Castle. http://www.hearstcastle.com/
