... millilitre of the C******nay I did taste was proof enough to pony up $40 for a bottle – varrry naaice!

The area of wine country we are in is beautiful – the fall colours are starting to show in the vines and in the trees and the wineries are on a smaller scale which makes them more personal, distinctive and a little quirky. The weather was a surprise too – humid (which is bollocks) but warm – ...

Preparing for the Trip

We'll be taking our Winnebago Rialta to Snug Harbor RV Resort in the California Delta for the 4th of July weekend. We're planning on warm weather, so we're going to take the kayaks, bikes, and I am bringing fishing gear. Leaving the bay area for a 3-day weekend can take hours due to the traffic...but we hope to get a jump on things by ...

Day 34 - Fortunate Son

... He shared about his family and visions he had about the future efforts for peace of the SGI. He also shared with me that in the morning, he was set to have a Men's Division meeting (for men gen**ally ov** 35). They'd chant for an hour and a half and follow it up a discussion. I told Alb**t that I would love to join. And by morning he meant 7:30. Bett** get some sleep. In a place that I'm fortunate to have come across. Miles driven today: 79.9mi Daniel

We're finally home!

... but it cost 1.40 dollars for every Euro and just over 2 dollars for every British pound. So an 80 Euro meal out would cost us about $120 and an 50 pound meal just over $100. It was killing me by the end to realize just how much we were spending each day. Oh well, its only money right, and what is an experience really worth? But it still hurts. Food & Wine Needless to say, we loved the Italian food. For 3-4 weeks, we had nothing but pasta in various forms mixed with a little ...

San Francisco

... stay and it was in a safe area - 'phew,' I thought. I had images of our trip to America being full of dangers and annoyances with us both having to be extra vigilant and more aware both during the day and at night. The last thing we needed was to be staying in an area that was not safe at night, particularily as we often do not come back to our accomodation until it is dark at the end of a day's exploration. There really is no point in visiting a city if you are ...

Happy New Year

... see a doctor'....which she did! Vegas itself is bizarre. We stayed in Circus Circus, a family based casino. That says it all! Kids could gamble for Teddy Bears whilst parents spend their money whilst drinking their free booze. We heard of people losing cars and even houses in games. You can literally gamble for anything! There is a hotel which has white lions in the casino....need we say more? The main strip is bright and busy. It is ...

The Nice America

... The Einstein that had it in his hand gave a very curt "Is this yours" once the lady game running up and said that it was her bag. It was all we could do not to kill our self laughing in front of the idiot. The guard, realising his mistake started to try and cover his error by saying to one of the other guards, "I didn't know, some people write their names on their bags and I thought that it was a mans". Idiot. The other guard had none of ...

San Francisco to Kyiv

... mostly everyone in America has a washer and dryer! I think it was the first time in my life that I truly enjoyed doing laundry. The following day our friends Loren and Jen flew in from Chicago. They studied with Alec at IIT and were coming out to visit during their Spring Break. We had an awesome time with them around Berkeley and San Francisco. We went on a great hike around Point Reyes National Seashore. The wind made it pretty chilly, but we still really enjoyed the wildflowers and ...

San Francisco

... luggage turning up 15 minutes prior, we were ready to party. We felt we could walk safely in most places (we did head advice to avoid the Tenderloin district) and wandered about the Financial District where our hotel was and into Castro (gays), Haight Ashbury (hippies), Chinatown and also Fishermans Wharf districts. Although on the subject of feeling safe we had intended to hire a car in San Francisco then drive it down to LA, but the first evening we turned on ...
