I’m looking for a ride to take me where I need to go. I’m looking for the freedom train. I know it’s there. I’ve seen it before. I’m going to find it again. I’m going to take that ride. I’m going to get where I need to go.

Carmel by the Sea: Mediterranean Restaurant

When I stumbled into the genial world of Mediterranean Restaurant on a charming street in Carmel by the Sea, California, I was flustered.
