Friday morning we got up and went into the city of San Fran. We got to see a lot of touristy locals like the Painted Ladies, Union Square, China Town, North Beach, we walked up Lombard Street to Coit Tower, down the Embarcadero to Pier 39, and ended at Ghirardelli Square. We then took a cable car back to Union Square and saw the tree all lit up and then jumped in the car and headed back to Monterey.
Saturday we went out to breakfast at my fav place the Old Monterey Cafe on Alvarado St. From there we did the 17-mile drive and had lunch at Pebble Beach (thanks for my $26 salad Betz!) We went into Carmel after that scenic tour ended and Betz and Kort were able to do some window shopping. Megan and I headed back to Monterey for a bit to get some stuff done and then met up with Betz a little bit later but not much else went on that night; although I did enjoy a couple of delicious pizzas from Giannis...I guess nobody else was hungry!
Sunday they came into work and I showed them around the aquarium. They got to help me feed the octopus and Betz had a pretty close encounter with the younger female. She will tell you she was attacked but what really happened was that as she was about to feed the octo chased after a couple of rockfish, scared them up on the side of the tank, and then proceded to grab one and eat it right there in front of us!!! Betz's high-pitched scream outweighed my laughter and amazement. It was a pretty incredible experience that I had never seen before.
After we were done walking around the aquarium we went to the local sushi place on Lighthouse Ave called Crystal Fish. That way the girls got their California sushi. But that was the last trip on the tour of Monterey and we had to head north to the airport from here. It was a very brief trip but absolutely great to see my sister who I miss terribly!
