The fog didn't seem to burn off in Monterey anywhere near the water, but it was sunnier and warmer more inland from the ocean. It was a beautiful day at the Carmel Mission, officially the San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo Mission, the skies were blue and the temperatures were warmer.
The mission was interesting, but I actually liked Mission San Juan Capistrano in Southern California better. However, I do recommend visiting as it an interesting historical sight and is the final resting place of Father Junipera Serra.
From Carmel-by-the Sea you can drive down to Big Sur along the beautiful, rocky Pacific Coast. Unfortunately, my one attempt to do this was pre-empted by the fog...you couldn't see a thing, so I gave up. I do plan to go back, weather permitting.
