I have never lived there, but my grandparents did, my dad’s from there (semi-obviously), my parents live there now, and my uncle and his family also live there (though my cousins are elsewhere now). The whole peninsula, from Monterey to the Carmel River and back, is very much key to so many memories of visits throughout my life. If I end up living there towards the end of my days, I think I will be a very fortunate person indeed.
