The Monterey Peninsula Toy Box

	"In the Bible it says that God made the world in six days and on the seventh, rested. But I think that on the seventh day he created the Monterey Peninsula." - Golf writer Cal Brown The Monterey Peninsula Toy Box is the brainchild of Mr. Toy, a native of Carmel, who is currently residing somewhere nearby. We think he's in Seaside, but nobody is really sure. Anyway, he welcomes his local neighbors along with those of you who are just passing through. Mr. Toy loves the Monterey Peninsula very much and he's here to share some of his insights, tidbits of knowledge, and have a little fun.
