It was fabulous to get away for a few days this week. We took the coast down, made our way along Highway 1, then down through Monterey and Pacific Grove (at left) to Carmel, where we had booked a rustic little cabin just outside of town. The stretch of coast between Monterey and Carmel was unbelievably gorgeous, despite the fact that we skipped the famed 17 Mile Drive (through Pebble Beach) and the $9 entry fee that went with it.We arrived late in the afternoon, checked in, then drove into Carmel and walked down to the beach. Not wanting to spend $27 on spaghetti, we later wandered around until we found a the Hog's Breath Inn - a pub formerly owned by Clint Easwood - which offered outdoor seating clustered around numerous fireplaces.
In the morning, we put on our running gear (shorts!) and headed out to Point Lobos. The park is small, and many of the trails dead end at the edge of stunning cliffs and beaches, but we managed to cobble together about an hour of good running, mostly on dirt trails. Here are a few photos from the run. More to come.

that drive is breathtaking! can't wait to see the rest of the pics...and are you not bummed at the weather forecast for santa cruz next weekend?!
That area is beautiful. I used to love going up there when I lived in los angeles. And how nice to run in shorts! I can't wait for that weather. It can't seem to stop snowing here. It looks like a blizzard outside at the moment.
