I had Friday to myself until about 2pm. I started my day with a run overlooking the Pacific Ocean. I went to the rooftop spa and fitness center of the Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa and the treadmill was situated in front of a huge picture window overlooking the bay. What a view!!! I then got dressed and walked down cannery row. I had an awesome bowl of clam chowder at Louie Linguinis. I walked through the little shops and museums then headed back to the hotel to meet Russ. We spent the afternoon in the Monterey Bay Aquarium. All the exhibits were wonderful but the jellyfish were spectacular, they are really beautiful creatures. I know in the ocean they don't glow like in the pictures and I would never want to meet up with one but they are graceful creatures.
We then headed to Carmel for the night to meet up with John and Susan for dinner. We went to Mission Ranch which is a nature preserve that is owned by Clint Eastwood. The food was again just wonderful. I enjoyed grilled sea bass with rice and asparagus. Russ had fillet Mignon with lobster....the lobster was mmmmm to die for!! and apple pie a la mode for dessert!!! To give you a little history about mission ranch Clint (because we are on a first name bases) bought it to keep it a nature preserve. A company wanted to buy it to build condos. The picture of the ocean is the view we had from our table.
