We went on a tractor-driven hayride.
Here's what we saw!
pumpkins and a haystack in the distance
a cardboard cutout of a farm worker (it was the only one I could get a shot of!)
strawberries!
flowers
pumpkins
and more pumpkins!
Then we went to go pick out some pumpkins for ourselves.
Here's the monkey riding in the cart we managed to grab from someone.
And here's the haystack the monkey and I climbed up on and danced! lol.
If you look closely, you can see seals laying on the rocks. I had to do a double take before I realized they were seals!
Little "olives" that we saw along the 1.

They're actually little hermit crabs. I tried to pick one up and it was stuck. lol.
After the pumpkin patch we drove to Monterey and hung around Cannery Row.

We are home now and everyone is exhausted. Lighting is still horrible but I've been having you wait forever so here's what I was able to take just now. Excuse the washed out look of my cowl. We've had very few sunny days here so it's getting harder and harder to get decent pictures of my projects!
Purpley mush
Ta-da!





















Your pictures of the seals reminded me of another difference between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. You had commented in a letter about not being able to imagine the ocean being warm like it is here. Well, I can't imagine seeing wild seals up close in the ocean. Another reason that I would love to see the Pacific!
