We spent a beautiful, sunny day in the town of Carmel yesterday. The town is still a great place to go, but it has changed somewhat since we made a first excursion in the early 1980s. Certain things have not changed. On-street parking is still time-restricted, though the time limit has been increased to two hours. You can still get great samples at The Cheese Shop and the community is still very dog friendly. Many a shop has a water bowl placed just outside the entrance and a few restaurants have outdoor dining with special go-along menus just for Fido. There are even a few spots beside walkways encouraging folks to pick up after their pooches and deposit the bags in the discreet receptacles that have been provided. On our outing yesterday we counted at least 10 different breeds of 4-legged friends enjoying the day with their owners, including a sweet duo of Yorkies who waited patiently with one man in a clothing store while his wife tried on sweaters. We actually encountered many more dogs than children, at least on that particular day.
