Carmel By the Sea.....

On my list of dream locations to live, 

Carmel By the Sea is near the top....

We stayed at The Mission Inn in Carmel. 

It was an older Motel....from the 50's,

but all remodeled,

and the huge grounds were so beautiful and cared for......

beauty, quiet, updated......perfect.

We wandered around the grounds, with no one else in site.

This is NOT a real COW...a bit of wimsy...

This covered walkway was stunning

I love hibiscus...in all it's glory.

On our way home, we pulled off in San Jose and at

Taqueria Edwardo....in a strip mall... 

in a questionable part of town........but the food was worth it.

We headed home with happy hearts.  We had such a great time.......
