The Other Half


In Monterey, they got fish. They also have sea lions, otters, flamingos and really nice cars. We know this because we visit the Monterey Aquarium (that's not where we saw the cars, but more about that later).









The aquarium is totally awesome and we spend hours staring at fish, especially the Mola (ocean sunfish):



We also happen to be in Monterey during the run-up to the big car auction next weekend. The streets are full of car dealers, collectors, and admirers, not to mention their vehicles.

These cars come in many colors; here are just a few:













Some of these cars are famous. Here's one that President Roosevelt drove:



...and here's a Duesenberg:



Our favorite is this Green Car.



It is not only the coolest looking thing here, it has nifty little antique glove box, as demonstrated in this video:



To bring a little bit of normalcy back into our lives, we close the evening with a round of glow-in-the-dark miniature golf. How's that for classy!
