Pongo and I drove down to Monterey for the afternoon on Sunday. It was a quiet, cloudy day. We didn't see any whales or dolphins. We saw a number of sea otters, although they were too far out for pictures.

It's been hot and sunny the last few weeks in the Bay Area. I prefer the cloudy, somewhat foggy and even slightly drizzly skies of the coast, and Monterey did not disappoint. The weather was great in that sense, and the stretch of coastline from the aquarium to Point Lobos is as interesting as it gets along along the Pacific shores of the US. It's a good place to go to refresh the soul, even though it's highly developed and always full of people and tourists.

We spent some time at the beach at Spanish Bay. Pongo decided it was his job to clear the beach of those pesky birds. He did a pretty good job, too. It's a good thing he came along, they looked like they owned the place or something.

We ended the day by driving into Carmel Valley to see some cows. Pongo loves cows. Actually, we also drove out to the mouth of the Carmel River, but dogs aren't allowed on the beach there. Bummer. We saw some horses, though. Pongo seemed a bit confused by the horses. Such strange creatures.
