At Santa Cruz, we hired some boats off Dave Johnson-a paddler we knew from our old days! and took off across from the wharf towords Seamers Lane:) on the way we had to cross the Giant Kelp beds, where we encuntered the animals we went there to see - sea otters, seals +sea lions!!

on the Wharf in Santa Cruz!

Like old times, we stood here 20 years ago but we were in wetsuits then!

This one is for the Forwood family!!! (Thinking of you :) Ffion:D

Sunset last night at Carmel by the Sea. It was also fairly warm - jumpers were fine.

This is our hotel. The Normandy Inn, it was full of flowers - all the rooms were higgldy piggldy, built separately along corridors or off balconies and up the top of spiral stairways - very quirky.
