This lady was living aboard a houseboat anchored in the harbor. She would dress for dining or shopping, put her bicycle in the boat and row ashore.
What a wonderful time at the Fisherman’s wharf in Monterey. And the clam chowder is the best.
In lower left corner of pic, can see seal pup suckling its mother and next to them a female soon to calf. 

Long section of bike trail fenced off. Spring is home to seals in the Monterey area.
