After speeding the whole 24th of December in Carmel downtown, 25th morning we started for home. We were not in hurry. We wanted to take the last essence which was still left there. We decided to go visit the Carmel Mission on our way home.
I'm still continuing with my Carmel visit. Actually, there are so many things to share with you friends. One of them is the windows of the tiny shops. First of all most of the shops, look like little cottages. Every time I saw, I felt like living there.
The rest of the California doesn’t have those kind of houses, at least,how much I’ve seen. To my knowledge, almost all the houses are same through out California, with some Spanish style houses in upscale Santa Barbara.
In my previous post of Carmel I told you about the secret passages. Some of my blogger friends, who visited those Carmel told me how exciting to discover those secret passages. So, I thought of writing again about my experience of those secret passages.
After visiting the Murphy’s house we all realized that our stomach had been rumbling. Carmel was a heaven of all exotic restaurants. Mr. Man took the responsibility to finding a good one, where every one of us could get their desired food. At that moment we were on Ocean Avenue, and he found out a French Restaurant, Porta Bella on Ocean Avenue.
We reached Carmel in the pitch dark, so we couldn’t see anything. Next morning when I woke up and look through the glass door of the balcony. I could see endless the deep blue ocean covered with gray clouds hovering over the horizon.
As I told you that my house was getting remodeled, and just before Christmas we got our house back. So, the Christmas was super busy, from cleaning the house to arranging everything. In the mean time, Mr. Man arranged a small trip to Carmel. The plan was to start from home around noon on 23rd December. However, I had been still cleaning and arranging things around till 12 in the noon. Anyway, after finishing all cooking, eating, cleaning, arranging we at last depart from home around 2 in the afternoon. When we reached Carmel, it was already dark. I couldn’t see anything. I felt that Mr. Man parked the car on some one’s driveway. He told me that he parked car on roadside, and he needed to go on foot to find our inn, where we were gong to stay for next two nights . Anyway, he parked the car on the front road of the inn. After finishing all the work at the office we luckily got a parking spot on the inn’s parking space, as that was the last one left. *smile*
On first day of the year, Mr Man didn’t want to stay at home. 31st night he suggested going on a day trip to Tahoe. Though I didn’t say anything, my answer was negative. He was just like a kid, he didn’t want to listen. When I told him that I was tired, he told me that he would drive, so I didn’t need to worry. I couldn’t make him understand that I just wanted to stay at home and have rest. Anyway, we woke up early in the morning. I packed up all the possible winter garments in the car, in case if we need. While driving on the way, we continuously talked about our last year winter vacation to Tahoe. The memory of the vacation will never be faded from the memory.If you want to read about our last year visit to Lake Tahoe, please click here.
