Lesson 24
CALIFORNIA DREAMING
I. NOTE
The drive along Highway 1 in California is spectacular. One of the most scenic
stretches runs from the city of Monterey south to Big Sur. The coastal highway hangs
perilously above the Pacific Ocean.
Big Sur is 80 miles of treacherous ocean and rocky shore. Along your drive, you will
see otters, sea lions and whales. The coast line is dotted with redwoods, the world's
largest trees.
Carmel (its official name is Carmel by the Sea) is a storybook village. One of its
most famous inhabitants, and former mayor, is the American movie actor Clint East-
wood. If you go to the Hog's Breath pub, you may just run into him.
II. DIALOGUE
You (reading your aunt’s will): “One of my favorite places in America is the area
around Monterey, California. I would like my nephew to visit Monterey as I did as a
tourist. He should do the following:
1. Have lunch at a restaurant on Cannery Row. Sit at a table overlooking the wa-
ter. Perhaps you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of the famous sea otters;
2. Visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium;
3. Take the scenic 17-mile drive;
4. Drive on Highway 1 down to Big Sur for a splendid view of the rugged
California coastline;
5. On the return drive to Monterey, spend a night at the quaint Lamp Lighter Inn
in beautiful Carmel by the Sea. Ask for the Hansel and Gretel cottage if you can get it”.
(The next morning, you check out of your hotel and drive for two hours south to Mon-
terey. You spend the next few days exploring the sights your aunt wanted you to see).
