Started at about 12… the drive was tooooooo boring…stupid mapquest took me thru the city roads for about 1.5 hrs…Once I entered Monterrey/ Carmel, theshoreline was visible…..peaceful, soothing pacific ocean!As usual, no parking close to the beach..I parked on San Antonio Street,two streets away from the beach. Kaya puked her breakfast! Poor baby, motion sickness I bet.

Anyhoo…boy, you should have seen us walk upto the beach..EXCITEDDDDDD is the word! I was about to run and jump into the water, Kaya was a bit skeptical about the waves but loved the sand…this beach- 1 Ocean Ave.doesn’t require leash on dogs…Kaya was free…and didn’t know where to turn,what to smell…plain crazy!I went deep into the beach and Kaya preferred to stay at the shores…I didtry to coax her into the water, she did come in, but ran as the waves touched her paws.It was sooooo adorable to watch her do so…I also ran bare-footed in the beach for about a mile…Kaya ran right beside.
There were plenty of Labradors ‘retrieving’ toys from the beach…Kaya got tempted as she saw others go in and tried to go in as well...poor baby got her face wet and scurried back out to me!! I had wandered so faaaaaaaaraway from my purse…panicked and scanned the whole damn beach….found it after 30min! damn that beach now.After about 2 hrs in the waters, we took a walk into the city...most stores are dog friendly…
Carmel is so quaint! Cobbled streets, plenty of Hauptpiazzen!
Apparently, it is full moon and the tides are high and forceful…The drive back was pretty, and eerie as well! The night sky was very serene to stare at. Kaya was wiped out… slept the whole 2.5 hrs drive back home. I am sooooo proud of Kaya, she was constantly praised for good behavior and goodlooks! She gets it from her mom-ME! ha ha. I got lost as I neared Modesto. Well, reached home alive…at 11 pm!What a trip! Check out the photos……
