A nice lunch sesh at The Fish Hopper in Monterey. Yumm... let's eat! This was during our spontaneous outing to Monterey and Pacific Grove, CA. I went with my cousin at the time. Why did we go on this outing? It was my day off of work so we wanted to take advantage of it… *Our outing in a nutshell: We 1st walked around Pacific Grove, CA along Ocean View Blvd to take in the beautiful scenic views by the sea. Then around midday, we walked to the Monterey Cannery Row from Pacific Grove (we parked along the Ocean View Blvd since parking was free; parking fees are expensive around the surrounding areas). We had our lunch at the Fish Hopper around 1:30 p.m. We got fish and chips, fried calamari and a clam chowder bread bowl. We had like the best view. Our table was right by the entrance and we got a picturesque view of the Monterey Bay. After lunchtime, we walked up and down the cannery row and did some window-shopping. Then we walked back to Pacific Grove, taking in last minute views before going back into the car. It was pretty windy and chilly out. We even planned to head to a different location to hike but we just ended up driving up to just the northern part of Pacific Grove (the spot where we see sunsets) and just chilled in the car while enjoying the views of the ocean and while waiting for the sunset. We did get out (and braved the cold, windy weather) and took some last-minute pics down around the tidepools before finally ending our trip with an ‘ok’ sunset (sun didn’t touch the horizon unfortunately). Brrrr, we then turned on the heater full blast while beginning our road trip back home. I had to stop by Home Depot in Seaside, CA for some last minute ‘essential shopping’ lol. This was a nice mini Monday getaway we had. ‘Til next time, safe travels everyone! (Monday, March 22, 2021)
