Well, I made it to Seaside (where I’m staying until the 11th). The weather cooperated as well, with sunshine and not too hot for most of the way. Once I got near the Monterey peninsula it got chilly and damp.

I checked into the hotel. On first appearance, it is very nice. Then you discover that despite the high rates, they nickel-and-dime you to death – this is the first Hilton-affiliated hotel I’ve ever seen that charges for Internet. And the vending machines serve off-brand soda at $2 / bottle, where the other places I’ve stayed (even including the hellhole from last night) have had Pepsi or Coke for $1.25 or $1.50.
