My wife wanted to spend her
vacation in Monterey. So as my birthday gift to her we traveled north on
Wednesday, Aug. 5. We arrived at the Best Western Ramona just a little after 1
pm only to be informed that check-in time is actually 3 pm. We were surprised
because the confirmation of our reservation clearly stated that check-in time
is 1 pm. After some spirited discussions about their check-in policy, we were
finally allowed to go to our room.
We rested for about an hour and
then proceeded to a park that had a stream (or estero). Aside from a few
Brewer's Blackbirds and a variety of gulls - all in different stages of
maturity -- there wasn't much to see there.
We then went to the Fisherman's
Wharf where there were tons of people!
There were some interesting things
to see at the wharf (aside from the tempting food offered by the local
restaurants) - like this jellyfish:
and Harbor Seals:
And of course, what would a wharf
be without boats...even colorful ones:
There were a few birds, too, like
this Black Turnstone:
..and Brandt's Cormorants:
We then bade goodbye to Rappa's as
we headed back to the hotel.
