Week 24 - Carmel, CA

Morgan was in San Jose last week for a conference and Paul flew out Thursday. We then drove south to Carmel to visit with Paul's grandmother and his aunt Jennifer. It was great and such a joy to spend several days exploring the area and sharing meals and stories with such wonderful company.

Jennifer, MomHelen, and Morgan. We were lucky to have the last day of our visit overlap with Jennifer's trip down to Carmel.

While in Carmel we spent Saturday morning exploring the tide pools at several beaches around Monterey Bay. Lots of fantastic invertebrates including incredible sea anemones and a great diversity of algae!

Fantastic mussels from the intertidal of Monterey bay!
