"Astoundingly beautiful little town" Carmel-by-the-Sea by oldmonk_92129

I went to Carmel the weekend before labor day to avoid the rush. It took me no time to find out why so many stories have been told about this place - and why the artistic, the rich and the famous flock here. Even with a little time spent here, you feel a new rush through you...a new injection of creativity and bliss.
From it's countless small little lanes to art galleries and mom and pop shops...Carmel is the closest thing to what paradise could be.
And what better way to spend here...than a subsidized vacation...courtesy of VT...I snagged the auction at the bidding price...and I was told that I told that my four night price is the usual one night price in a place like that...It wasn't the most luxurious...but everything in Carmel is expensive.
Makes me look forward to my other auction bids...Sad that the VT auction no longer exists.

• Pros:Almost painfully beautiful...instinctively artistic and creative
• Cons:No signs on any of the roads...If you come here after dark and try to find your way like I did...you're screwed!
• In a nutshell:If you're wealthy, why would you live anywhere else?
