...since I'm finally posting again

Never wrote about my trip to Carmel!  Last October, my sister, Ann, and I stayed in Carmel for a few days.  The purpose of the trip was to walk the Big Sur Half-Marathon in Monterey.   Stayed in a wonderful little hotel with a kitchen - walking distance to everything in town.  Great food, long walks on the beach and along the coast, and toured down the coast to Big Sur.  Our cousin, Kitty, came down from Emerald Hills to stay with us one night - fun evening, of course!!  The walk was fabulous - can't believe we went that far - 13.1 beautiful miles along the Pacific Coast.  We finished right under the 4 hour deadline with 12 minutes to spare.  Boy, we were sore - could hardly walk.  Everything hurt but it was fabulous!  Plan to go again next year.  Great part of California.  Kind of old home week as I'm from northern California.  Great to go back for a visit.  Looking forward to the next one!
