It took me about a decade to get around to this, but I finally made it to the Monterey Festa Italia. It's a three day celebration of Italian heritage, food, and culture in the Monterey area of the California coast.

Here are some of my favorite street portraits that I shot.

It has come to my attention that some fraudsters are offering 40th Anniversary Monterey Bay Aquarium tickets at $9.95 for 4 tickets. If you see these ads, don't click on them! It's a scam.

"Making lemonade out of lemons."

Instead of paying a fine, after being cited by Carmel police while biking, a #MontereyCounty teen opted to do #CommunityService.

We appreciate the consciousness of court officials who allow transforming a finable citation into education and community service.

That is one of MANY #BicyclingMonterey projects—all done as a volunteer since 2009. For other projects, see https://bikemonterey.org/about/financial-donations/donations-some-ways-your-money-can-help.

We've asked #MontereyCounty Health Department & Transportation Agency for #Monterey County to team up on getting word out to #HealthCare providers in the county that TAMC has free bike racks, lockers & repair stations. Often we've biked to a PT appt, etc. only to find nowhere to lock our bike.

Hartnell Professional Center, Monterey (which houses #Community Hospital of the #MontereyPeninsula / #CHOMP #PhysicalTherapy & other medical offices) DOES have a bike rack. They also have picnic tables, benches, shade trees. :)

Sadly, many benches have been removed from City of Monterey public spots (e.g., USPS Post Office & Alvarado Street). We mention that—and, in contrast, City of #Seaside's revitalized West Broadway, which is loaded with benches, and bike racks—in "Rest Stops: People who bike, walk, or otherwise get about sometimes just need to 'sit a spell.'" https://bikemonterey.org/rest-stops-people-who-bike-walk-or-otherwise-get-about-sometimes-just-need-to-sit-a-spell.html
