a day to play in monterey!

This was my third trip to Monterey for Internet Librarian, and usually I have barely enough time to wander down to the wharf, let alone to explore the area. This year, however, since I’m traveling to Seattle rather than Rochester, I have a late afternoon flight out of Monterey—which leaves me enough time to do a little sightseeing.

Last night I had dinner at a lovely waterfront Mexican restaurant, with a former student of mine (Katie Giebel, who I wrote about last spring). She’s in graduate school here in Monterey now, and thriving. When I mentioned that I had the morning free, she offered to come pick me up and take me for a drive along the coast…how could I possibly say no?

So this morning we’ll take a scenic drive, and she’ll leave me at the Monterey aquarium, which I’ve always wanted to visit, before her midday class. From there I can walk back to the hotel, and catch a cab to the airport.

(I’ve started recreating the missing entries from the blog; two down, several more to go. The sad thing is that I apparently lost a really lovely comment on the entry about my ex-husband’s death—written by an old friend of his who shared memories about things they’d done together.)
