Just going to download my photos from yesterday and then go back to the Marina and sit and read a book or something. Been sooooo busy since I arrived no time to just sit and chill.
So that's it ....... plane tomorrow and arrive back in uk Sunday (cos of times and stuff), then back in work on Monday.
This is depressing - need to start planning next holiday soon!!!!!!

Got up early to go on a tour down to Monteray and Carmel today and it was sooooooo nice!
First of all went through Santa Cruz which was really nice then onto the Monteray Aquarium and Cannery Row in Monteray which was ok but a bit too touristy.
Then went along 17 mile drive (I think?) which is in this sort of private piece of land along the Pacific coastline down towards Carmel. It was sooooo beautiful!!!!
Stopped along the way to take photo's of Lone Pine (naturally, as it's in all the tourist books!) which is now looking a bit past it's best to tell the truth.
Then stopped at this bay were there were these lovely little squirrel things (ground squirrels ??) anyway they come up to you, maybe just curiosity but bet just wanting to be fed, etc, etc. So I took a video of one of them - soooo cute - it came running up towards my camera and stuck it's nose into the lense!!! Really made me laugh.......! They're just running about the beach which is sort of pebbly and digging holes into the ground - really, really cute - cannot tell you how much 
Then went on to Carmel which is really, really pretty but oh so expensive. I've really started to buck against this constant spending which is just thrust into your face - Buy this, Buy that, etc, etc. So I walked down to the beach instead of going round the shops. It was a bit of a hike down (as quite steep) but sooooo worth it. The beach had beautiful white sand and just breath taking!
Just nice driving about and seeing a bit of the country. Had a break on the way back at the Garlic World Shops - everything with garlic - which was a bit strange. Had to buy this herb rub thing for cooking called Roadkill Grill Seasoning which states " makes all critters taste great!" I kid you not. I know I said I wouldn't buy anything else but it's just herbs and garlic really and the tin looks cool !!!!!
So just got back into Hostel and suppose tomorrow will be doing washing and generally trying to fit everything back in backpack - it's a skill, not one I can ever get to grips with myself.....
Tomorrow night is my Cob's Comedy night - just drove past but it was all in darkness, maybe they don't have anyone playing on Thursdays????? Anyway suppose to be a quite famous guy tomorrow Craig Ferguson. Originally from Scotland or someut so at least he should be funny, sometimes when you see American Comedians playing they're basically rubbish but maybe it's a culture thing???
Driver said a true story today:
This guy phones up and this little boy whispers Hello.
The guy says can I speak to your Mummy. The boy whispers - she's busy.
He then asks if there's anybody else there. The boy whispers - my dad. The man asks to speak to his Dad. The boy whispers he's busy.
The man asks if there's anybody else there. The boy whispers the Policemen. The man asks if he can speak to one of them. The boy whispers they're all busy.
He asks well is there anybody else there. The boy whispers the Firemen. The man asks if he can speak to one of the Firemen. The boy whispers they're all busy.
The man is starting to get annoyed now and asks why are they all to busy to come to the phone. The little boy whispers - Cos they're all looking for me !!!
Well I thought it was funny......
