La Jolla Coves

 

 

 

If you are a Steinbeck fan (which I am), you will no doubt be familiar with the La Jolla Coves; in Cannery Row Doc and his motley crew drive a junker car there from Monterey in order to pick baby octopuses that is going to be the subject of a research paper on the effect on rage on the red octopus. We did not pick any octopuses, but we did look at the giant pelicans, and the pupping seals. We also ran around on rocks and dipped our toes in the frigid waters. Some day I want to go to Moneterey and see if I can find the old water tank one of the other characters lived in.
