Lunch at Village Corner
We ate lunch at a bustling place Di Yin recommended, Village Corner. We sat outside in its lovely courtyard. Though not apparent in this picture, the fire-pit was active.
"Monterey Bay sand dab, lemon remoulade, lettuce & tomato on focaccia." The salad was topped with a balsamic vinaigrette and feta cheese.
"Honey smoked turkey, Swiss cheese, lime chipotle mayo, lettuce, tomato & pickle on ciabbata" along with French fries. The fries were good and surprisingly addicting. (I think it had been a while since we ate fries.) This sandwich, like the previous one, was pleasing. And both sandwiches were enormous; half a sandwich probably would've sufficed a normal person. However, we were hungry and they were good enough that we ended up finishing them all (and then didn't eat dinner until past 8pm).

The Beach
From the spot where I sat to read, looking down the beach toward the Pebble Beach golf course.
The beach and gnarled tree in the other direction.

Miscellaneous
The street-side parallel parking is electronically enforced! I wonder if there are metal detectors under the cars or nearby cameras or what.
No Picture Associated With These Comments
A cute lane leading to a small courtyard and a shop.
The quirky cafe, the Carmel Valley Coffee Roasting Company, where I read for a bit and Di Yin read for much longer. We often end up here at some point during every visit to Carmel.

Other surprising vehicle-related signs we spotted:
  • a Stop sign marked "5-way"
  • a sign: "right lane may turn left"
Sorry I didn't get to photograph these.
