Poodles Day in Carmel; humungus humus and sea mist


Monterey Breaker

 
Poodle Day:  Carmel Beach

Only in California?  Poodle Day in Carmel.  In the morning competitions, parades and pampering took place in downtown Carmel.  In the afternoon the pooches could paddle and hang out on the beach.  We missed the morning but were in time for relaxing near the ocean.  

Humus Starter

Our supper of humus and fries in Big Sur was so huge it fed both of us and we had half left over for the following day.

 We left Big Sur around 8am and travelled along the US equivalent of France's Grande Corniche.  The breathtaking ocean views and nerve-jangling drops at the side of Highway 1 were mostly hidden by sea mist or is that ocean mist?  The mist lay as undulating low cloud I've only seen from an aircraft.  This time it had the sound of Pacific Breakers rising from its frothiness.
