Peachy's day at the beach
E and I had an impromptu out of town trip yesterday. We had dinner with his co-worker, Mike at Sta. Cruz. We went to a Thai restaurant where they just slurped the hot pepper sauce like nothing. Even the waitress was amazed at how much hot sauce they consumed. Mike seems to be very nice and intelligent. A very good conversationalist too.

We spent the night at the beautiful Carmel-by-the-Sea. Unlike the new, sterile-looking, cookie-cutter hotels that we usually stay at, we stayed in a small family owned inn. The place is old, has a flowery wall paper, and a small balcony with a view of the mountains. The building itself is kinda Tudor style and I find it very charming. Most importantly, the place is pet friendly! Yay! I was able to bring Peachy with me!

E had to drive to Stanford the next day so, Peachy and I went to the beach. There were so many dogs running around it looked like a dog park instead of a beach. The dogs must have outnumbered the people. Peachy and I walked and played a little. We also met a couple of kababayans fishing. I chatted with them while Peachy barks at every single dog that passed by as if she's much bigger than her dimunitive 12 lbs. Jeesh, she totally has the little dog syndrome.

We then walked around downtown to do some window shopping. There were a lot of shops and most are very upscale. The whole town looks beautiful and there were so many rich people. There's this lady with two dripping wet dogs from the beach and she load them up in her posh Jaguar. I love dogs and all but come on now, that's a Jag.

It was a nice short trip. I'm glad to see the beach one last time before I go back to school. Best of all, I get to spend some quality time with my Honey.
