Pebble Beach - Monterey Peninsula
Our drive from Salinas, California to Pebble Beach, Monterey Peninsula was about a half hour.
(We had stayed in Salinas the night before). We drove through more fields of vegetables; onions, cabbages, lettuces, etc. It amazes me to see in this "small" part of the United States the vegetable fields that are pristinely cultivated and planted and how precisely the seeds / plants are planted.....and how it all feeds America.
When we arrived at Pebble Beach we were able to drive the coastal resort and visit "Points of Interest."
At the conclusion of our drive, we stopped at the Pebble Beach Golf Links, home of the famous golf course and had a light lunch at "The Lodge."

See the Baby Seal in the middle of the picture? He is laying across his momma.
The Sea Air near the Seals was very pungent!
