Carmel

Rodolfo and I just returned from a beautiful trip to Carmel, California. We had fun hiking, horseback riding and enjoying the eden-esque valley where our hotel was located. I love ocean air, and the amazing thing in Carmel is that the air smells oceany but also has a mixture of flower and herb scent to it too. There are herbs everywhere! I saw lavender and rosemary on almost every street corner. Honeysuckle or jasmine was the other dominating scent. After we went horseback riding I expected my clothes to stink like horse, but instead they smelled like they had been freshly laundered. I guess the combination of the humidity from the ocean and the flowers all around freshened my clothes. Wouldn't it be great to hang dry laundry in Carmel?! Well, here are some pictures from our trip.
