It just doesn’t seem fair, especially if life destined you to live out your days in Detroit, or Pittsburgh, or Peoria, that some people are lucky enough to come from Carmel. You look at a place like this and you start to wonder how badly you must’ve screwed up in your last life to be born in some rust belt, industrial toilet, while other people get to grow up and live in a place that bears a striking resemblance to Heaven on Earth. Carmel is one of the many reasons why, no matter how bad our economy or how screwed up our government is, people will always dream of coming to live here. It’s not the only beautiful beach on Earth, but let’s face it…it’s California.
