Cheryl asked Alka Joshi:

Monterey? My Grandmother grew up in the Cachagua in the Carmel Valley. Stories of living on the farm, protecting her little brother from a mountain lion then building a home in 1931 on Colton St. She was very active in society, the women's club and played bridge like a master. She even met and danced with John Steinbeck. After she passed, my parents lived in that house for years. Good memories!

Alka Joshi Thanks, Cheryl, for sharing your family history and good memories. I do love it here--there's plenty of fresh air, the gorgeous Monterey bay, streets that fold up around 9am, no sirens disturbing your sleep, and really nice neighbors. It's the easiest place to make friends and keep them :-)
