Robt, If you are out shooting Wed in the afternoon, I may be able to join you, work and family permitting. I'd drive home after sunset.

I'm sure to be out shooting Weds PM, the question is where to hook up, and when... Suggestions?

The kids are enthused about the aquarium, though I think to take best advantage of this as an educational opportunity, we should be shooting some architecture and landscapes. What about combining the aquarium with some urban shots in Carmel/Monterey, and then going down to Pt. Lobos for some land/seascape shots -- it's a lot closer than Big Sur. We need to get back to the East Bay at a reasonable hour on Thursday, which might entail leaving before sunset :-(

My guess is that we won't be able to get away until 5-ish on Wednesday, though we'll try for a little earlier; we are try to miss only one day of school.

We'll figure out what to do on Thurs when we hook up Weds. I'm gonna do Big Sur Weds AM I expect. May even drive down Tues PM so I can hit the scenery bright and early. Is that 5PM you get to Carmel or 5 PM you leave the East Bay?

The wheels are starting to align--now to clear with my other half... ;)

I may need a grab shot of the Monterey Plaza hotel for a booklet I'm putting together--maybe I catch that on the way over and then we meet up in the PB/Carmel area? I didn't get to visit Pt. Lobos on my last trip and it would be easy to kill several hours there. They'll kick us out right after sunset... But, you know the area better than I so I'm game for whatever. Hopefully I can lock in plans tonight and if so I'll P.m. you my #. Maybe Joe will join us.

Not around for Dinner on Sat although I fear I'll be missing the highlight of the Bear_Music experience. :( And I say this with total respect for your photography! ;)

Your number's of no help to me as I'm deaf and won't have anyone with me. We'll have to arrange a specific time/place to meet. Who's "Joe"?

well, not too long from now I'l be heading over to Carmel, and still no meet-up spot/time specified for tomorrow by mark/joe :-(

I won't have a computer there and I can't use a phone, so....

Unless I hear otherwise I'll be at the parking lot for the Carmel Mission from 12-12:30 on Wednesday. I'll be driving a big, black GMC Denali...

R.

For the Saturday dinner gang, I'll be back in Los Altos Thurs PM and will check progress then.

OK, officially out of contact now. Hope we manage to hook up, Mark and Joe. Paul, see ya tomorrow night per the mailed directions.

Hope you guys hook up today. Here's proof positive that a Bear has been sighted in NorCal this week.

Unfortunately this weekend has gotten jammed up so I won't be able to make it to the Los Altos Hills Bear Feed ... sounds like it should be a good time with good eats. Have fun everyone.

More Bears!
I was able to catch up with Bear, we drove around Big Sur Area and he told me all about the area. It was a great time, unfortunately I had to leave earlier than I wanted but today he spent the day with the general. :)

later we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium

where we both took a lot of shots of jellies

Robt. is still in Carmel (without a computer) until Friday, but dinner is still ON for Saturday night; I guess people should RSVP here. It looks like Isaac's sister Hannah may go, as she had to miss the Carmel trip. :-(

He mentioned something about Chicken Piccata, but I think you can suggest something else. I think it would be a good idea for us to chip in a bit for the ingredients, as I know he's traveling on a limited budget.

He also mentioned that if anyone has a "special dessert" they make, they might bring that as, no matter how good a cook he is, he's never been a "dessert guy."
