Monterey weekend, continued

While William was off having fun at the aquarium, Eric and I enjoyed a really nice walk in the hills.    The hike was amazingly varied.  Dry, scrubby hillsides covered with cactus soon turned to a valley carpeted in wildflowers of red, yellow, pink, purple, orange, and white.  A little farther along were lush groves of ferns and redwoods with gurgling streams. Off in the distance fog drifted over the hilltops, reminding us how close we were to the ocean.








After the hike we drove to Carmel to visit the old Spanish mission there. The church was a simple affair, but had some glass details I found photographically interesting:
