Sonoma

It is Sunday morning and I'll be leaving Sonoma for Yosemite later today. Erica and John have been fantastic hosts again, and the neighbours have been equally welcoming here. Friday evening ended up in a pretty late-night session singing along to John's guitar and harmonica, or to the Rhapsody internet service. Lots of Elvis and Proclaimers stuff, I seem to remember! And that was after my induction to Wii tennis and 10-pin bowling. Yesterday we took a tour of some of the wineries in the Sonoma valley, taking many samples along the way, and visiting the Jack London museum. I'm very glad that John was doing the driving! Last night we had a very fine meal chez Maria, and with neighbour Nancy there too.

Thank you to all of you for a wonderful couple of days. My pictures are of Erica and John at Benziger winery, some of their vines, signposts to more wineries, and the moon from Maria's garden - with some of her very own Redwoods!
