Disney World or Beach Town?

When we visited Carmel recently I couldn't help but wonder whether we had accidentally ended up in Disney World by mistake. Don't get me wrong ~ I love the Disney parks. But there's no question that when I'm there I feel like I'm in another time and another place.


As an example of my Carmel experience, I fell in love with this little place called the Tuck Box. It's an English tearoom that serves breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea.


They serve everything from scones to sandwiches to Shepherd's Pie.



It looks like a little house straight out of Beatrix Potter or Snow White, don't you think?
