As seen from Carmel-by-the-Sea by Hella Rothwell: The weather couldn't be better and people are dressed in summery garb including me. I actually put on some clothes that I keep for my Hawaii trips, including the hat, and sallied forth this morning to Carmel Beach and from there north to Pebble Be...
