After seeing our little racoon friend down at the harbour we have become quite the naturalists (naturists? Which ever one involves taking all your clothes off and looking at animals…)
Last night we were having a meal down at the harbour when we saw lots of splashing in the dark waters below our window. There was a big seal diving around, tossing fish into the air and honking a lot. A local chap told us that this particular seal is known as being both a loner and a joker, and he comes in to play on his own when the other seals shun him. I sensed a kindred spirit, and, like Attenborough on the trail of something rare and naturey we rushed down after finishing our steaks and desserts, and the wine, and watched him play in the waters. Amazing.
We’re leaving Monterey Bay tomorrow to catch a train north, and then on into Canada, ay? It’s been nice to have a settle here and get some sweet seafood in our bellies and eighteen cups of coffee in our veins each day, although as a consequence I’ve now stopped sleeping and have developed a twitch.
Huge hugs to all
