My husband and I retired in June 2018. I was in the Navy and then taught physics at the Naval Postgraduate School for a number of years. My husband taught English for many years. We have three children who are all grown and living on their own. Our favorite activity is hiking and observing nature. I'm also a big fan of gardening. My husband enjoys singing and playing the guitar.

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
Our house is almost exactly halfway between Monterey and Salinas off Hwy 68. It takes 20 minutes if there’s no traffic to get to either city. The houses are set fairly far apart out here. Wild turkey, California quail, and hummingbirds are common guests. Our 3 bedroom 2.5 bath house has beautiful views of the surrounding hills.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
The lots in our neighborhood are all about 1 acre large, so it's kind of halfway between suburban and rural. The neighborhood dogs like to bark sometimes, and there's a bit of traffic noise from cars on Corral de Tierra. Otherwise it's a quiet place where the sound of visiting hawks, hummingbirds, turkeys, and quail can be appreciated.

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
Where to start? It's a short (10 min) drive to three parks for hiking or biking. There are at least ten more parks for hiking within 15 miles. Monterey Peninsula has a unique climate. It's rare to get temperatures over 80F (27C), and the humidity is low. So it's a perfect place to enjoy the outdoors. The Pacific Ocean is 11 miles from our house. The water is too cold to swim in without a wetsuit, but it offers pleasant beaches and great views. A perennial favorite is the drive south along Highway 1 towards Big Sur. Monterey is a smallish town, but it has a world-class aquarium, many restaurants, and a few concert centers and theaters. The "cottages" and shopping in Carmel are definitely worth a day of their own. Pacific Grove has a very nice natural history museum. A bit further away is the Ano Nuevo Park where you can see huge elephant seals.

I make every effort to make sure the house is clean and tidy before we leave and appreciate coming home to find it the same way. You simply must enjoy the covered patio - particularly in the morning and late afternoon!
