The five of us had an early lunch at Porta Bella. I had a Flambé Jumbo Shrimp Salad [grapefruit wedges, avocado, cherry tomatoes, roasted pumpkin seeds, mixed greens, orange segments, honey tarragon vinaigrette], while Sharon had a Blue Cheese Burger [Angus beef, Roquefort cheese, caramelized onions, greens, and tomatoes].
The plan for the afternoon was to explore the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We haven't been there since 2006. We watched them feed the South African Peniguns and the Sea Otters. I really enjoy the two big tanks: the kelp forest and the open sea.

With an hour to kill after the aquarium closed, Sharon and I stopped at the bar in the Intercontinental Hotel on Cannery Row.
Sharon and I finished the day with dinner at Mark and Jeanne's house in Pacific Grove. Sharon went to law school with Mark. We haven't seen them since April 2011. It was a very nice evening. Mark cooked a couple of steaks. The four of us spent hours catching up. It was after midnight before we left their house and wandered back to the hotel.
