Carrie's birthday!

My last full weekend in Monterey has passed! (phew!) And so, I am trying to cram in as much fun stuff as possible with all the great people I've met here, in the time I have left!

My love at Lover's Point!

Friday night, Natalia and I enjoyed our last night together as roommates, since she flew home to Moldova on Saturday night. We ate at Crystal Fish (the BEST sushi on the peninsula) and met up with Kevin after his (LONG) drive up from LA to go to a few bars downtown. Of course, I found the only other Marylander at the bar (from Easton), who was probably the only other person in the bar rooting for the Ravens to win the replayed game that was on the TVs!

Cool bottle window

Kevin and I enjoyed some other yummy new places this weekend, and we hung out with some coworkers to celebrate a birthday Saturday night. We went to Lover's Point on Sunday morning for a picnic brunch, then left with some of my things in his truck (I've expanded past my one-carload-limit with a shelf I bought here for my unfurnished room!) Thankfully it was his last long drive home from my apartment in Monterey!

Rabbit.. Five ways! (stewed, pate-ish, fried,
roasted leg, one other I can't remember!)

Monday night, I shared an AMAZING dinner with some coworkers at "A Moveable Feast," which is attached a little general store in the middle of NOWHERE in Carmel Valley. An hour from Monterey on super-windy roads, they only serve dinner on Monday nights and have a pretty unique menu! I ate "rabbit 5 ways," which was YUMMO!
