Carmel-by-the-Sea, September 2016 edition

Last week, we took Kargo along to Carmel for our usual fall visit. The weather was gorgeous and almost too warm. We first stopped off for lunch in Pacific Grove. Here's Kargo in front of Lovers Point Park.

The next day, we did our usual hiking in Garland Ranch Regional Park, where Kargo got to enjoy off-leashing hoofing.

We enjoyed some lunch at the Corkscrew Cafe, which has a dog-friendly patio.

On Monday morning, we strolled Carmel beach. There were lots of other people and dogs around, but for some reason, the beach looks deserted in this photo.

This weekend in Carmel included Poodle Day, so Carmel was awash in poodles. This was fine with Kargo, since she loves poodles. Here's Rocco, a fellow hotel guest, with his "hair pants" haircut.
