Carmel by the sea




Carmel-by-the-Sea and a little "motel therapy" has brightened the dispositions and restored our perspective (only the 6Th motel stay of the trip). Everywhere in this town we see character. The beach introduced through the sprawling branches of cypress trees, the streets lined with unique shops, the absence of chain retailers and commercialized beaches, the narrow blocks and streets yield a close, comfortable familiar feeling. Carmel has ambiance, a character that refreshes the spirits.
Modern hotels offer glitz and glamor, ambiance and amenities but the maturity of the Normandy Inn puts forth a calm, comforting aura in which to relax. We feel the road tension melt away. It also might be the maturity of the property appeals to the maturity of this traveling couple. The dining experiences are equally ladened with the same character to create an wonderful evening.
This break from the Pleasure Way revitalizes the search for opportunities filled with fun and growth. It fortifies the basic optimism that makes the trip so interesting.
