The elevator woman was this Chinese lady who had lived in Jamaica Plain, and was very happy to see us. We became good buddies during the way up. She said in chinese "I move here ... don't like snow..."

OK...not our best day. We walked about 3 miles trying to find the bike rental place. We never found it. We walked an additional 2 miles to a bus station. We were pretty tired by the end of the day.

Good place to visit. However, it was really crowded and there were a lot of kids around. Having tea at the main shop will cost you a hefty $6, yes, that's just a cup of tea. We didn't get any.
We rented a convertible and headed down Pacific Route 1, with several stops along the way. We also drove the 17-mile scenic drive through Pebble Beach. Some people just have too much money.
Tom "The Wine Guy" took good care of us. We didn't book a private tour, but we ended up getting one, since no one else signed on. We visited about four wineries, we saw how they make wine barrell...which we learned they can only be used twice...we also learned how they make champagne wine. In the way we also biked nearly 20 miles.
Supposedly, this is the place where you'll have the best burger in your life. I admit it was good. But not sure whether it was the best. Wendy's makes a fine burger too and it's cheaper.
It's hard to describe how big these trees are. The ride to the park though was scary. You drive up on the side of the mountain with no guard rails on a two-lane narrow road.
