1. Vacation

Asilomar 1/13/13

We drove around Monterey Bay to spend the night at Asilomar in Pacific Grove, CA. That evening, after we watched the sunset over the Pacific, we (belatedly) celebrated George's birthday
by having dinner at Passionfish there.
In the morning we had a great breakfast in the dining hall at Asilomar, where we met another group of interesting fellow residents.
We started our day with a walk on the beach and a tour of the park, where we found their nursery for growing native plants and learned
more about the rooms and their arrangements (e.g., which have fireplaces).
We'll be back.
