One of the perks of a Salinas assignment? Monterey and the California coast are nearby.

So after a week of doing what you do best as an OT, your time off can look a little different—coastal exploring, Monterey Bay, scenic drives, great food, or simply enjoying a Central California winter.

And yes, while friends back home may be digging their cars out of the snow, you can send them a picture from the coast. šŸ˜‚šŸŒŠ
