I'm dreaming of
travel today. I have booked my flight to Spain and I will be setting sail
mid-March. The anticipation has me thinking of a memorable trip I took last
summer to Northern California-- particularly, the magical town of Carmel. While
the memory is bittersweet for me for certain reasons, the experience is one I still wanted
to share.
This little town is
unlike any other place you can possibly imagine and I highly encourage everyone
to visit. Lined with cozy cottages, pristine foliage and gardens filled with
blooming flowers and succulents, you can't help but feel content with life as you
look around and breathe in the majestic Pacific Ocean air.
I'm going back to a
particular brunch we shared one morning at La Bicyclette, in celebration of the
weekend festivities. This quaint corner restaurant was adorable and cozy,
decorated as if we were in a tiny rustic, French cafe. The sun was shinning through the
large windows and the room was filled with the aroma of coffee and bacon.
Everyone enjoyed something different from the brunch menu, and subsequently tried them all. The fresh micro greens and heirloom tomatoes were
flavorful and spicy underneath perfectly poached eggs. The French toast was
thick and custard-like; sweet and savory when covered in real maple syrup and
fresh berries.
Just as it was
recommended to me, I am recommending it you! If you are ever in Carmel, you
MUST enjoy a meal at La Bicyclette. You won’t be disappointed!
♥ Enjoy Friends!
