Kaitlin, Kaili, and Wine

Posted by Chef Penny | Posted in | Posted on 8:32 PM

After a beautiful night and SOOOO grateful to Kaitlin for her hospitality and wine, we spent the morning with Kaitlin and toured Santa Cruz.  We first started out at the Fisherman's Wharf, which every city in California seems to have one!  We walked around and saw sea lions, pelicans and seagulls!  It was so cool!  (full pictures on FB!)  Then we walked the Boardwalk which is 100 years old!!!  We took pictures so say hi to Kaitlin :)  and thank you for your home!

We went to lunch at a place called Alfresco.  It was fast food vegan food.  CRAZY and super fast!  I had a delicious salad with a lemon tahini salad dressing!  There was also a great natural grocery store across the street where we picked up some home made kombucha (3 diff flavors- we tried the pineapple ginger), a couple of wheatgrass shots, and some raw chocolates!  I'll take pictures of those soon!


Then we headed off to a place called the Samba Rock Acai Cafe!  This place was amazing!  Bob and I got some smoothies.  This place offered all smoothies that included acai.  My smoothie consisted of almond milk, acai, banana, mango, passionfruit, bee pollen and spirulina!  A perfect driving snack :)  We said goodbye to Kaitlin and drove to Monterey!




In monterey we met up with Kaili, my friend from Paris!!!!  I hadn't seen her since October of 2007 so this was a special treat!  We drove to Carmel and walked the beach, had a mid day cocktail and then went to dinner at a Thai restaurant!   Say hi to Kaili and thank her for letting us stay there!

Now, we are chilling at Kaili's, drinking wine, playing with Bianca (the second cutest chihuahua beside tarzan!), and watching some tv!  Tomorrow is a long driving day so off to bed early!
