IL2009 – Saturday Morning in Monterey

Portola Plaza Conference Center

Good Morning from scenic Montery California!  Registrants are starting to trickle in for the preconferences this weekend.  The weather here is mild, with full sun yesterday.  Mornings tend to be overcast with lots of fog over the Bay.  There is a great arts & crafts fair being held today and tomorrow right in the large plaza behind the hotel.  We’ve gotten unusual handcrafted  silver jewelry in past years at one of the booths – Christmas gifts for our daughter-in-laws.  Trader Joe’s was doing a brisk business this morning when we arrived to get some fruit for snacks.  As usual, lots of  joggers and dog walkers were out and about.  I’m looking forward to my first preconference – Digital Photographer’s Bootcamp in a few hours.  See you there!!
