We were touring the Monterey peninsula a few years ago and I took my wife to Nepenthe because I remembered it from the Elizabeth Taylor movie many years ago. I remarked to my wife that we were sitting higher above sea level than the highest point in Louisiana, about 11 miles from our place near Driskill "Mountain", and it turned out that the lady at the next table had relatives buried on Driskill Mountain and went to their annual reunion there . . . small world.

Yes, small world — I think that movie was The Sandpiper... — I love Nepenthe — a lot more ‘upscale’ than it was ‘back in the day.’ And all those ‘upscale’ former hippies are consummate capitalists now, even if they do vote ‘left.’
