Let me start with some exciting news. This post gives you the chance to win a gift certificate for shopping at CSN Stores, who recently emailed me asking if I could do a giveaway. The winner will receive a one-time use $60 certificate (shipping excluded) that can be used for any of CSN's 200+ websites, including the bed section. CSN Stores ships to USA and Canada. All you have to do, dear reader, is leave a comment to this blog post within a week from now. On next Friday (June 18), I will pick a random winner who will bag the gift certificate! that, please join me on my journey through Cannery Row in Monterey, California, where I was last week.
Steinbeck is literally all over the place, and walking through streets that have been preserved in the pages of a work of fiction gave me a different kind of thrill. More so after learning that Steinbeck had actually been a resident of these parts.
Already an admirer of Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men", I now want to read "Cannery Row".
Monterey is also home to a spectacular aquarium, housing some of the least visible creatures of the aquatic universe. I was enthralled to see the sizable and varied sea horse collection.
The jelly fish section was no less spellbinding. Here's what is known as Moon Jelly.
And, of course, there was the sea, with its roaring, splashing, playful waves. A cure for any and all kinds of fatigue.
Oh, and did I mention sardines somewhere? Well, here they are--locally caught and presented in a delectable pasta dish.
Enjoy, and don't forget the giveaway!
P.S: You can always comment even if you don't wish to participate in the giveaway. :)
WINNER: Stephen Hines was the lucky name to be picked. Congratulations, Stephen!
