The San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo Mission located at Carmel by the Sea Monterey Peninsula California is such an amazing place.   I have been traveling to Carmel by the Sea for so many years now, and this was the very first time that Alaska Bob has ever been inside.     Last Saturday 9-26-2015, I took these wonderful photos of what some call the Carmel Mission for short. And for anyone that spent time at Carmel by the Sea and haven't had the chance to step inside the mission, take a look inside next time.     Robert Alaska Bob Swetz spent over one hour taking photos of paintings, statues, buildings and more. I really like the photo (above) of the statue of Mother Mary with the sunlight shining through creating rainbow spheres ;o)       San Carlos Borroméo de Carmelo Mission: The Si... 09/29/2015

  How much do these homes cost at Carmel By The Sea in Monterey Bay California?     Here are some average looking homes I came across as I was walking around Carmel By The Sea in California.     These homes (are not) located directly to the coastline of the pacific coast, but are fairly close.     So just by looking at these beautiful looking homes, can anyone tell me off the top of their head roughly how much these homes may be worth?     The price range and values of all these homes are very close and similar because they are located in the same area, on the same block ...

Yesterday, we finished the program for the 21st Carmel Art Festival on May 15-18, 2014 and gave it to the printer. Being a Board Member and getting involved in organizing all aspects of this plein air event, has been very time consuming. The festival itself will be held at Devendorf Park and adjacent Mission street (which is being closed for the event) in the downtown commercial area right across the street from Carmel Plaza. Take the program, for example, the information contained therein needs to give all the information the public needs to know about the event itself such as: 1. 60 of some of the top plein air artists of today are participating, some local but most of them from out of the area - that in itself took about 6 months to finalize from application to them getting juried in... 05/03/2014

Election day is always fun in Carmel-by-the-Sea. This is the last day that those running for office will be standing outside the downtown post office and talk to anyone and everyone to get their votes. Frankly, it's pretty much too late to talk someone into voting for them because most of the 2,000 that are eligible voters have mailed in their ballot already.  To explain, we actually have something like 4,000 people "living" in Carmel-by-the-Sea but half of them are second home owners and vote somewhere else. There is also a large contingent who own businesses here in town and those working here, about a thousand, but in all likelyhood they are not living within the city limits and cannot vote.   The other half, as I said, about 2,000 call the shots in this little one square mile city i... 04/08/2014

Now I know there are many people around the United States that have really gone through a tough winter. With the cold temperatures and record inches & feet in snow fall, well it's almost over. Temperatures are really getting nice on the west coast, flowers are blooming, bees are buzzing around people are really showing a little more happiness ... "Thank God" Spring is and always has been the best time of the year to sell Real Estate.

And then either enjoying their new look of their home or turning around and listing it for sale. So whether you are playing around your home, in the garden, jogging, biking, walking, meditating, swimming, ... 03/12/2014

Today is an absolutely gorgeous day here in Carmel-by-the-Sea so naturally I headed down to the Ocean just like everyone else here. Yes, this is a morning ritual with many visitors and locals. And if you can't get there in the morning, you certainly need to do so at Sunset. But I digress. I noticed something right at the bottom of Ocean Avenue just before you step onto the sand at the top of the bluff: The Mutt Mitts have been there since I came into town way back in 1995, so that was not it. However, the "Save some Fish. Feed me Butts." container was new to me.  In the past, volunteers would actually SIFT THE SAND to get rid of butts that were left behind by thoughtless smokers. This is certainly a reminder that if you DO need to smoke, please put the butts in this container or take th... 02/16/2014

Last night, I was invited to a private party at an art gallery here in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Because it was Valentine's Day, it was dubbed as a "singles party", yet a lot of couples showed up as well.  Mary Titus, gallery owner and artist, knows how to throw a party with excellent wines and food. She's a long time resident here with a wide range of friends in the community. Definitely not an invitation to pass up. When you go to a function like this or any other function for that matter, I take a lot of business cards with me as it is always a real estate networking opportunity for my brokerage. Why? Because more often than not the first question posed to me is: WHAT DO YOU DO? Although this was a social situation and the answer could have been "gardening" or any other number of pursuits, ... 02/15/2014

On Valentine's Day there is a big focus on LOVE and in Carmel-by-the-Sea, more often than not, it comes in big bundles of fur. Yesterday, I saw these beautiful Newfoundlands being fawned over outside the Doud Crafts Fair gallery. Being such a doggie town, you will find that perfect strangers will come up to ask if they can pet your furry friend or even hand out treats. Especially big guys like these, a treat is never turned down and will make you an instant friend for life. Why is Carmel-by-the-Sea such a dog friendly town? 1. Many restaurants have open air courtyards where you can bring your dog. 2. Many inns in town allow pets, foremost being dog lover Doris Day's Crypress Inn. Here dogs are not just relegated to the rooms, but frequent the bar and great room for High Tea as well, wit... 02/14/2014
