Whirlwind Wine Tasting Tour (Saturday)
What’s a trip to Northern Cali without a trip to wine country? Thankfully Steve was pretty accurate in his weather prediction and we ended up spending the perfect day driving up to Sonoma & Napa with blue skies and warmer weather. There were just too many vineyards on our list, and many of them closed [...]
San Fransisco! (Friday)
We appear to still be on East Coast time. We would not have otherwise woken up before 8 am without an alarm clock. Breakfast at the hotel – not too shabby. Hopped in the car, found the local Peet’s coffee shop for some lattes and drove on up to San Fransisco. Some of the more [...]
Northern Cali
When Steve called from work & asked if I’d be interested in tagging along with him if he had training in San Jose, CA I responded with “Do you even need to ask? I mean, really. Have you forgotten who you’re talking to? ” We decided to arrive a few days early so we could [...]

Entries Out of Order
Not as in “not working”, but just not really being posted in the order that things have been happening. The first weekend we were here, we experienced La Mercè – the dragons, the correfocs, the fireworks (twice), the castellers, and ending with the pyromusical. We’ve only just started to finish posting the photos from those [...]

Since Everyone has been Asking…
Nichole is indeed here with me on the trip, but why would you believe me? Here’s photo proof: Taken on the beach just before the fireworks, and just before is started raining really hard: These two were taken at Montserrat (which we have yet to upload photos from): This one was taken by me at [...]
Steve’s Pictures of the Castellers
Nichole has uploaded her pictures, now it’s my turn. Here they are, I’m going to try and explain them so they are hopefully more than just pictures. These two are just showing the people climbing up, and how they get settled, also in the second photo, you can see the enxaneta (the little girl in [...]
