Whale Watching in Pacific Grove in the Martine Inn

We are staying in the Martine Inn in Pacific Grove near Monterey. This is the stunning view out the front dining room where breakfast is served along with hot hors d'oevres and wine in the evening. The view is fabulous (it's a million dollar view) but what is even more amazing is the wildlife that we have spotted in the water as we are enjoying our breakfast.  We have seen dophins, otters but best of all whales!!!  
It's been hard to keep up a conversation with whoever you are with because when you see a whale you have to immediately say Wow and point it out to others near you!



Here's the table laid out for the Wine & Cheese which is on at 5.30pm every evening.

The inn is full of antiques and we have played pool on the 1890's table every night which has been fun.

The inn is quaint and charming with a few nice touchs like fresh fruit available throughout the day along with freshly baked goods and coffee from 3pm.  First day there was delicious chocolate cookies (I brought a few to Starbucks yesterday) and then there was an oatmeal raisin bite type bar.  I wonder what will be made today?!

Speaking of Starbucks, that is where we are currently, we were up at 6.30am this morning so the jet lag is easing.
Look at these cookies - how cute are they!!  They are in the shape of  Starbucks Frapuccinos!

  1. The wine and cheese is such a great idea, and I bet it gives you a chance to converse with the other guests. Reminds me of the old days in Key West : (
