A Spectacular Sunday Rates as the Best Day of Our Trip

Our FINAL 20% off subscription sale ends at midnight tonight

Sunday afternoon’s ridge walk was like something out of a dream.

Sunday ranks as the best day we've had on the road, and there have been some grand ones. It was a rainy morning, but we soaked in the literary history of the Monterey Peninsula, and it was unbelievable. In the afternoon, the weather cleared, and we put in a thousand feet of elevation on one of our highlighted hikes of this coddiwomple. 

The ridge walk above Carmel Valley alone was heavenly. 

We've steered clear of sunsets at the beach since we are a solitary trio and prefer to avoid crowds. (There will be other beaches without crowds ahead.) Instead, we lit almond wood logs in our rental's fireplace last night. Samwise and Emily used me as a pillow while I read to the snap, crackle, and pop off the dancing flames. Our little space was filled with the best aroma.

I told a friend, "This was the perfect day. It's why we travel!"

I'll write up the details later this week and send them to paying subscribers.
