San Francisco visit draws to an end with or last day doing the "SIGHTS".
A visit to "Lands End" park was in order.
We also visited the botanical gardens, things were just beginning to bloom.
Looks like I have gained a bit of weight. We departed the San Francisco area Wednesday and traveled to Monterey, which is on the coast about 125 miles South. Monterey grew into a city when canning fish became popular, there were 17 fish canneries at the peak, but today the area is best known for a couple of golf courses, Pebble Beach and Spyglass, both on the ocean with spectacular views.
Judith and I were able to have lunch at the Pebble Beach course here is the practice putting green.
We had lunch at the Gallery which overlooks the practice putting green and the Tee Box for Hole #1. We watched foursomes teeing off for about an hour and half and at $500 per person they still seemed to be having a good time. The course was beautiful.

Lunch over looking the 18th Green.

You can see the water a little better in this shot.
They tried to keep the rednecks from Alabama off the course but we prevailed.
Just one of the fish Canneries, now house all kinds of shops from antiques to sock shops. Tomorrow we continue down the coast and will visit the Hearst Castle.
