Go to the aquarium, if you have not already been, and pay the slightly pricey fee to see some amazing sea life. Have lunch on their deck and enjoy the otters.

go on the world-famous 17-Mile Drive..... dotted with plenty of cypress and pine trees. Don't forget to photograph the many magnificent houses located within this area too. An architectural feast! Or perhaps, you may even wish to drop by the Pebble Beach Golf Course?
Anyhow, a map detailing all the major highlights of the drive will be given @ US$7.50 per car (gate fee).

Monterey Institute of International Studies is a graduate school of international studies in downtown Monterey. MIIS (pronounced by locals as "miss"), offers degrees in international relations, international business and languages, similar programs as the military offers at the Naval Postgraduate School and the Defense Language Institute, also in Monterey. MIIS, which is affiliated with Middlebury College in Vermont, also runs the Center for Nonproliferation Studies. Tuition is reasonable at about $13,000 per semester. MIIS's language programs help Monterey earn the nickname "language capital of the world."
The front of the school is along Pacific Street, but it is spread over a four-block area along Pierce and Van Buren Streets, between Franklin and Jefferson. Interestingly, the school occupies some of Monterey's historic buildings such as the Lara Soto Adobe (c1830s), the Simoneau House (1905), the Segal Building (1913), the Craig Building (1930s), and the Kinnoull House (1930s).
