A Gem

Monterey is a gem of a town, located about 2 hours south of San Francisco. This is a great town with a wonderful marina, complete with a fishermans wharf and a world class aquarium and Cannery Row. The downtown is also very walkable, and close enough where one can walk from the lively marina, right to downtown. There is also a little beach here, but people come here for the boating action. There seems to be many well-to-do people here, ut they are not pretentis. The wharf has many cool divey restaurants serving fantastic Clam Chowder.

Dolphin Statue

This photo shows what Monterey feels closet to. The marine life and the the good life on a sailboat.
