A former coworker of Carl’s who used to live in the area recommended we kayak at Elkhorn Slough because there are typically sea otters around and who wouldn’t want to see sea otters up close?!?! Crazy people, that’s who.
I kept my wildlife viewing expectations low because you never know with nature, but we were in luck and saw tons of otters, seals, birds (less exciting when there are otters and seals around), and a sea lion!! We got to see otters eating, swimming, grooming and just generally being adorable. We even saw a couple moms with their pups which was just the icing on the cake!
After that it was finally time to leave the Monterey Bay area (such a fun place) and continue north to San Francisco. On our way, Carl found a delicious BBQ place called Sid’s and after that we stopped for coffee and to watch some surfers in Half Moon Bay.
I can’t believe how steep the streets of San Francisco are!! Interested to walk around more tomorrow and check out Alcatraz!
