Juste au dessus de Carmen se trouve Monterey. La ville ne présente pas beaucoup d’intérêt en elle même, à part le Monterey Bay Aquarium qui est sans doute l'aquarium le plus grand, le plus beau et le plus réputé du Monde. L'aquarium se situe au bout de la Cannery Row, une rue en bord de mer qui abritait de nombreuses usines de conserves de sardines. D'ailleurs, le Monteray Bay Aquarium occupe la dernière de ces usines qui a fermée en 1973.
L'aquarium a été inauguré en 1984 et a été financé par David et Lucile Packard, David Packard étant un des 2 fondateurs de Hewlett-Packard. Lucille Packard a également financé l'hôpital pour enfant de Stanford qui porte son nom.
Monterey possède aussi un petit Fisherman's wharf qui est assez sympa.
North of Carmen there is Monterey. The city is not very interesting, except for the Monterey Bay Aquarium which is probably the biggest aquarium, the most beautiful and famous of the world. The aquarium is located on the site of a former sardine cannery on Cannery Row of the Pacific Ocean shoreline in Monterey. Cannery Row is the site of a number of now-defunct sardine canning factories. The Monteray Bay Aquarium occupies the site of the Hovden Cannery,
a sardine cannery that helped to define the character of Monterey from
the time it was built in 1916, to the day when it was the last cannery
on the Row to close in 1973, after sardine fishing collapsed.
The aquarium was opened in 1984 and was funded by the David and Lucile Packard, David Packard is one of the co-founders of Hewlett-Packard. Lucille Packard has also funded the Children's Hospital at Stanford wich carries her name.
Monterey also has a small Fisherman's wharf which is pretty cool.
