In December 2007 I took on a flat in the charming town, Carmel by the Sea California. Although it began in the early 1900\’s as an escape for San Francisco artist is sees more tourists visiting high-priced galleries instead. But there\’s a reason why this small sea-side town keeps people coming – it\’s accessible, it\’s beautiful and it\’s more than quirky.Here are some of the things that make Carmel by the Sea what it is:
The Forest Theatre still provides outside live theatre, however, because rent is so high the original movie theatre is no longer in operation. The only place to see movies now is in one of the local banks. There\’s a Plasma TV with seats. However, they only play Doris Day or Clint Eastwood movies.It doesn\’t matter what night it is, the town will most likely be quiet and closed after 6PM. I\’ve been asked a lot by tourists \”what\’s going on tonight?\” If it\’s Tuesday it\’s locals night at the Cypress Hotel. Other than that don\’t expect much. People come for the scenery not the scene.
