More San Fransisco 2007

Picture by Kate...me in the grape field.
Here are some more shots of my trip. We were lucky to get to spend the night on the Korbel estate. Alex has a lot of pull in the restaurant/wine industry due to his position at a nice restaurant in Marin. Alex, Kate and I got up early to get some good shots. Kate took the shot of me just up from the cottage we were staying in....great photos from such a little camera....I like the one w/the fountain. Behind this fountain were some beautiful flowers...we found a hummingbird feeding there and Alex got some great shots (he has a professional camera). Maybe if he sends me some shots I will post them!
I have always have a love for trees. On this trip, I finally got to see Red Woods. They were soooo beautiful. Thank goodness it is now illegal to cut them down. This shot doesn't do the tree justice (again, I have a small camera).


Here are Alex, Barbara and Kate down at the Farmer's Market (held on Saturdays) at the Fairy Building. Amazing food and goods sold here!



Inside the Korbel tour. Of course we were tasting....that was what our entire trip was about....food and wine...and some beer (for my husband's sake...who wasn't present...I could only tell him what was nice)




Ahhhh, Alex was telling us to get ready for the view. We came around a curve on Interstate 1, and this is what we found. The third time I have ever had tears in my eyes due to a spectacular view (others....Grand Canyon and the Galibei).


More on the trip later. I need to talk about food....the most important part of the trip.
Also, tomorrow is the famous 12 hours of Haw Ridge mountain bike race. I will be also posting pics of this wonderful day when I get a chance.
Peace Out!
