Monterey Part 2

The drive from Santa Cruz to Monterey took about 40 minutes - leisurely driving.

We arrived in Monterey an hour before check in time so we decided to head to Cannery Row and get something to drink on this warm, warm Saturday. We wanted some ice cream but ended up getting some really good Peets iced coffee and some fresh fruits for Rafael. One of the good ones I tasted in a while.




We got a good deal on this hotel considering that the weekend was sold out due to the upcoming US Open. It's a nice hotel by Munras and Fremont. One thing we were surprised to find out was majority of the hotels in Monterey do not have airconditioning. I was actually looking forward to just spend the late afternoon to cool off in the hotel but instead was greeted by a ceiling fan but with some cool breeze coming in.


We grabbed breakfast early the following day so we could be at the Aquarium by 10 AM. Denny's was located conveniently just outside the hotel.


Parking wasn't too difficult before 10AM. Rafael wasn't in the very best mood as he probably wasn't ready to get up yet although he went to bed early. His mood improved when we got inside the aquarium.
