Where are we?
In June of 2008 we decided to relocate from the the San Francisco
Bay Area to the beautiful Monterey Area. While we looked for our
new permanent home in the area, We spoiled ourselves living in a
condo 30 ft. from the ocean, with an incredible view of the
Monterey Bay. In January of 2009 we finally settled down on the
home we wanted in Carmel-by-the-Sea
Interests
We both share a passion for Classical and Jazz music and have an extensive (2200+) collection of CD's and album's to pick from. We are movie buffs as well and enjoy viewing the classics and new releases (+700) in our custom designed home theater.
Although we live in Carmel-by-the-Sea, one of the most meautiful places on earth, we still enjoy traveling and discovering new places and cultures around the world.
