monterey with the bruckarts!

carmel beach

gotta love the boogars! (or is it bugars?)

the water came up behind us...you know, the shock of the cold and wet jeans and all that. :)

downtown monterey. two of joe's favorite things right next door to eachother: a pub and a coffee house.

the coffee house was also an old theatre. it was pretty neat, only the smell of espresso combined with buttered popcorn kinda confused the palate.

this is the second time in my life where i felt i was in the presence of the italian mafia...only this time is was kinda like Mickey Blue Eyes combined with Rounders. some of them were chattin' away in italian, playing cards and drinking their cappucinos. i especially loved the one in the shades. i took him for the big cahoona.

joe had to try the coffee and compare it to the Cat's, of course. this place has gotten some publicity lately. check it out if you're ever in monterey.

k, this was just funny. we were like, "The canning company must've been having some serious issues." :)
