Our own California laureate/Forever Poet in Residence Dr. Barbara Mossberg's original tribute to the woman behind the man, unknown by us, Louie Wanda, a concert pianist and Grange Plunker, a botanist and ranch manager, a woman of haut couture and also the stay at home wife of John Muir, as Dr. B imagines her and her relationship with the famous Mountain Man whose words saved wilderness for over a hundred years: twenty songs Dr. B hears of love and passion for each other and earth. Come hear a tale of love for flowers and the words that sang as much as the Sierran birds,
And of course, cake will be served!

Dine Out With Friends at Pacific Thai Cuisine.

Pacific Thai Cuisine offers authentic and flavorful Thai recipes cooked with love and served in a warm and comfortable atmosphere. Your hosts, Lex and Gina, were born and raised in Thailand. They came to Pacific Grove and opened the doors to Pacific Thai in 2008. They quickly became a part of the community through their participation in local events and non-profit organizations. Pacific Thai's recipes are inspired by their mother's cooking and ancient family traditions. While guests come for the food, we believe they come back for the warm, gracious hospitality. At Pacific Thai, you are family!
Pacific Thai is open 11:00am-2:30pm for lunch and 4:30pm-8:00pm for dinner. Reservations are recommended. A portion of your check will be donated to support the Pacific Grove Library.
