Monterey
Often foggy and wind-tossed, the peninsular fishing village of Monterey calls to
mind John Steinbeck and his gritty novels of American realism. Hop aboard a
whale-watching cruise out into the bay's national marine sanctuary, some of
whose aquatic denizens also swim in Cannery Row's eco-conscious, family-
friendly aquarium. Soak up more authentic maritime atmosphere at the West
Coast's oldest lighthouse in Pacific Grove, then wander downtown Monterey's hid-
den gardens and historic adobe-walled buildings from California's Spanish, Mexic-
an and early American days.
