May 14, 2008 Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: Mission San Carlos Borromeo del Rio Carmelo, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Monterey County, California Mission San Carlos Borromeo del Rio Carmelo is located at 3080 Rio Road in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Monterey County, California   Vi kørte nordpå, til Carmel-by-the-Sea for at se Mission San Carlos Borromeo del Rio Carmelo, som er en af de missioner, jeg er mest vild med af dem, jeg har set indtil videre. Men inden vi kom så langt, skulle vi lige ud af køjen i Big Sur.... We drove north to Carmel-by-the-Sea, in order to see Mission San Carlos Borromeo del Rio Carmelo, which is one of my favorites of the missions I have seen so far. But before we got that far, first we had to get out of bed in Big Sur...     Vi spiste morgenmad på bageriet i Big Sur, hvor morgenbrødet bages over brændeild og smager fantastisk. Jeg tog et billede af Shell stationen ved siden af, fordi den var betydeligt mere spændende at se på. Og af en busk udenfor... We ate breakfast at the Big Sur Bakery, where their baked goods have been baked over a wood fire and taste fantastic. I took a picture of the Shell station next door, because it was considerably more interesting looking. And of a bush outside...       Og så gik det op langs kysten igen... And then we went up along the coast again...
