California Dreamin 10/16-21

Good People--Steve and Cindy-long time friends and we are STILL friends even after our trip.
Good Food--Margarita pizza at Boon Fly Cafe, chicken dinner at Del Santino's-Sonoma (a Rachael Ray recommendation) and lots of very good wine. Our favorite tour was Cakebread and the wine was one of our favorites, Rombauer Chardonnay was our favorite, we liked the town of St Helena, Sonoma and the old part of Napa. Steve introduced me to Victoria Bitters a beer from Australia, his favorite when he visited there--hard to find in the US, very good not bitter. Our favorite breakfast was in a very small cafe in SF near Union Square--La Taza-great avocado, tomato omelets with a big bowl of fruit and sourdough toast for $8-we went there both mornings.
Good Exercise--lots of walking in San Fransisco, the hills got our heart rates up.
Good Retirement--as always we never take enough time, especially in the wine country. But there is always a next time. Check out the slide show.
