Monterey was our final stop before heading back to San Francisco to return home. The drive from San Simeon to Monterey along Hwy 1 is spectacular. We didn't spend enough time in Monterey to get a real feel. Sardines put it on the map, and this is where Cannery Row is, made famous by John Steinbeck. There are still signs of commercial fishing, but tourism has taken over. Went to the Monterey Aquarium, which everyone raves about, highlight for me there were the jellyfish.
Here's a few shots from the drive up the coast and the city of Monterey...

| As the road winds it way up the coast you are sometimes near sea level and other times hundreds of feet above. |

| Tourists going out to whale watch, behind them a forest of masts. |
