This video uploaded the day that i left US...

I visited Seaside,CA on April 3-5 2010 very peaceful and beautiful at spring but that time it got unusually cold spring in those 3 days i'm stay there.

First very chilly wind of Seaside hit my face at 7:20 AM very cold around 40 degrees F.

Make me very sick but i tried my best to enjoy the Seaside-Monterey.

Monterey will be THE place for me to live in US and i love the weather there very consistent

through whole year!

@desheldenzugedenken....You said, "there is absolutely nothing to do here" so I take it that you live in Monterey, yes? Usually when people live in a city that attracts many visitors, they take the culture and attractions for granted. I am from New Orleans, and I use to say the same thing about New Orleans. I now live in Pleasanton, CA and I miss the culture of New Orleans so much. Monterey has many great attractions and is the most beautiful place on earth. I want to live there!

@desheldenzugedenken well, then monterey isn't your place. so stop complaining

[desheldenzugedenken]

@Haloskulls117 I already saw the aquarium, twice. Golf? Boring. Beach? That's not a beach. Please, google beaches in the Caribbean and you'll see what I mean. Best restaurants? I'd say overpriced mediocre cuisine. Cannery row and carmel? Don't make me laugh.

@desheldenzugedenken monterey bay aquarium. play a round of golf at pebble beach, spyglass, quail lodge, or poppy hills. go for a walk on the beach. go shopping at cannery row or carmel. eat at some of the best restaurants. my personal favorite thing to do is go looking in the local gun stores or gunsmith shops.

[desheldenzugedenken]

@Haloskulls117 Please, enlighten me.

[Haloskulls117]

@desheldenzugedenken i beg to differ. theres tons to do in monterey.

[desheldenzugedenken]

Monterey takes the meaning of the word boring to a whole new level. There's absolutely nothing to do here. Nothing. Downtown Monterey? Entertainment? Are you kidding me?

When do you plan on updating this video? The Fisherman's Wharf sign is gone and the State Parks historic buildings are closed most of the time.......and the charge a fee at some of them now too.

Have lived in 15 different counties and the last 7 years in Sedona, AZ. I'm back living in Monterey and can't imagine living anywhere else again.
