What a difference Carmel is from Santa Cruz! Sure it has a nice white sandy beach, with views of the infamous Pebble Beach golf course. But there were way too many McCain/Palin signs peppering about the town; too many well-to-do yuppies (with their bichon frise) on the streets; too many tourists shopping the too-expensive stores.
I always forget about all of this, which is why we only visit this place once a year (always leaving wondering why we came), at the most! Regardless, it is nice to go away sometimes, only to come back home feeling grateful that most of the people here are at least voting for the right man for the office! (It makes the air a little easier to breathe somehow).

ahah, funny. The only time P. and I visited Carmel, we had such an odd feeling that we rushed to get out as quickly as possible!
