Southebys is setting up for car 🚙 week 2023,added some pics. Small ice skating rink setup, fun for all ages. JJ Hogs at Rod, here today and tomorrow, nice selection, added a few pics. Another update, Greek festival was here today with food, music and other items. Update - open again this weekend. Added a few pics and videos. Monterey Outdoor Market was open to the public starting this weekend and will be open certain weekends in the future (see websites at the bottom of the sign). About 20 vendors out there today, varying hand 🖐️ made items- jewelry, caps, t-shirts, sweatshirts, woodcarving, signs, coat hanging, and a bubble 🗯 guy around the corner for the kids (who were having a blast)!! Pay for parking, which is limited. Wharf is very short walk from the Plaza. Enjoy the reopening of the festivals.

We enjoyed this brief and informative view of artifacts from the past that formed the foundation of today. The park service staff offered lots of background information on the Custom House.

Here are some rare flowers that grow here, people pick them so you don’t always get to see them. The gardens at the park are 5 star, but not the way they run the place.
