Monterey Bay/Cannery Row

Last weekend, I went to Cannery Row in Monterey for a day trip. I saw a few signs with the name John Steinbeck, so my curiosity led me to go online and read his relevance to this area. It turns out that several of his novels, including Cannery Row, highlight this street. The name "Cannery" was inspired by the expansion of the fishing industry (and fishing canning companies) in Monterey. I loved the architecture of the buildings on this lane (you can judge that by the pictures of random buildings) and having a sandy beach right next to it was nice too.
