Arrival
Our arrival was somewhat smooth.
We picked up car - different than what we reserved - more cargo space.
The toyota hybrid SUV managed to carry all of our stuff. Before heading
over to Napa valley, we stopped by UC Berkeley for a quick look around.
We tried to go up on the top of the hill to see the view of SF but
didn't go all the way to the top bec of "federal restricted areas." We
caught a semi breath taking view on the way down.
Mark loved the liberating historical spirit behind the UC Berkeley
campus and on the telegraph road. But, what we he did not love is the
parking enforecement patrollers hovering every curb they could find. The
enforcement ironically contrasted the liberating spirit .. Nature seems
to always balance itself ... No parking ticket was received and we ended
our stay in Berkeley by eating delicious organic veggie burrito from
Organic Kitchen.
Napa valley was a cozy side of SF. There were endless rows of vines and
wine tasting places. Each place offered a unique character that
indicates one wine is much superior than other. We settled our camp in
Bothe State Park.
