We made it to the coast. It being the weekend, we chose a little less popular local to spend the day, Asilomar Beach was perfect. Along boardwalk and trails, we perused the seashore. There were lots of sea otters there, a bumper crop, but they were always floating too far out to sea for decent pictures. The birds were more obliging. We spent hours at the shore and then at five headed into downtown Pacific Grove, where we dined at a restaurant new to us, but recommended by Frank called Wild Fish. The seafood was good; they also had a Mardi Gras celebration going on. Mardi Gras was last week and usually parties fall on the weekend before, but they had the Superbowl then.
