- I really liked this story, it made me feel nostalgic towards being on the beach. A big part of my life when I was a kid was going to the beach so this really hits home for me.
- The whole story seems to be reminiscent and also kind of a feeling historical awe. You could tell that the narrator was in awe of the historical events that could have happened on that very beach.
- He talks about the fishermen mending their nets and seals barking and fog sweeping over the rocks, it really reminds me of the northern coasts.
- "Dream of the splendid trappings of the troops that met and mingled-- Mexican cavaleros and hidalgos of old Castile:" (Charles Warren Stoddard, "Old Monterey", 226).

I really like how you have your notes organized by using bullets. The beach can be nice, but it is too bad the beaches here in the Bay Area are freezing. I agree that this story was nostalgic. I like how you wrote down the details on the beach and how the fog sweeps over the rocks. Reading that made me feel cold and even more so since the weather is cold lately. Thanks for sharing.
