after race, clean up and a nice dinner my race partner needed to rest I got restless so I went for a walk.  Yeah I know i just did 21 miles I must be insane but just outside our bed and breakfast was a beautiful place


do you spot them?



yep those are sea lions basking in the daylight


just across the street from where we were staying!!!!


so I walked along the rocky shore for a while




i fell in love with this tree


this is where we stayed such a charming place.


lastly a few more shots of monterey






don't even ask what that white stuff is


we took a quick ride down to carmel to see the sites


that is the world famous golf course


beautiful beach


i love these trees


even a banner for the race we came to do


and then it was time to head home.  I made it past security with only a few glaces by now my face is so swollen i joked with coworkers the next day about our other coworker that came with me saying she gets a little angry when she doesn't get her coffee in the morning. hahaha

ever take photos from the air?  here are a few I took this trip






i love this shot too
