Monterey – Day 1

I have to go to a Conference this week in Monterey. OKay not “have to” but it a good conference and John has those 2 weeks off, it was like fate. Since I am paying for the room, its cheap but has DSL.

We arrived at the Blue Lagoon around 6 pm Sunday. The room is small, and its a good thing I brought soap and all the other things, But its okay. It looks like they cut up the room strangley, or this motel was from another era. The closet is more like a hallway you dont need a remote control for the tv, just stretch enough you can turn the channels with your toes. The cheapness of the room, mismatched light bulbs, shower curtain is at a 37 degree angle tell me it was a do-it-yourself job. But the outside is painted a friendly blue and I can’t hear any of our neighbors.

We walked around Cannery Row. I made John go into the As Seen On TV Store.
Where they sell stuff you see on those awful comercials.

We tried to find the stupidest items.

He won when he found Peel-A-Shrimp.

The quickest way to split and devein shrimp

Peel-A-Shrimp Magic makes it quick, clean and easy to serve luscious fresh shrimp at home! Peel-A-Shrimp Magic eliminates the hassles of splitting and deveining shrimp, no more knives or shrimp slipping through your fingers! You will always have time to serve the freshest most healthful shrimp any day of the week!

Simply place your shrimp in the opening at the top. Peel-A-Shrimp Magic grippers hold the shrimp securely as our patented razors slice and filet, all safely enclosed within the Peel-A-Shrimp Magic.

With just a quick crank of the handle, out pops a perfectly sliced shrimp!

Peel-A-Shrimp Magic is so easy to use. You will be preparing mountains of shrimp faster than you ever thought possible.

When you are done, Peel-A-Shrimp Magic can be quickly dismantled for easy cleanup in the dishwasher.

We grabbed some yummy food and walked to Fishermans Wharf. We spotted another Just Married car, covered in soapy words and strings. Must be in the air, since driving from Santa Rosa, we passed 3 Just married cars.
