Yes you read that last sentence ...

... up of small plates, mezes translates to appetizer in Greek. For vegetarians there is a large number of choices, including spanakotiropita, kefalograviera saganaki, and horta. The wine list focuses on Greek wines that pair very well with the food. This restaurant is should definitely not be overlooked on anyone's dining adventures in San Francisco.

... naar het noorden: Sonoma valley! In Sonoma hebben we een erg leuke bed & breakfast uitgezocht: The Sonoma Chalet, waar wij de 'farmview suite' hadden. Geweldig - een reusachtige kamer , twee balkons, ingericht met allemaal oude spulletjes en met een zeer lekker ontbijtje! We waren zeer tevreden - toen we het uiteindelijk gevonden hadden... Tomtom stuurde ons ...

... look at some of the renovated Victorian houses.. pretty colours :) Then we drove across the Golden Gate Bridge. Much like the Sydney Harbour Bridge, you have to pay to get into the city but not out, so lucky us. Traffic was also quite light going out of the city. Stopped off to take some more piccies. So far, driving has been ok.. only ended up on the wrong side of the road twice :) Repeat after me.. turn left onto the RIGHT ...

... were away from the ships tied up along the waterfront area. After a nice sail among the huge tankers and cargo ships anchored in the south bay until just after sundown, we finished all the beer, sampled a "Mojito" rum with lime and coke and headed for home. What a memorable day, and we haven't been here two weeks yet. Until next time, The McGregors-5.

... i<br>was here and now i remember why. <br><br><br>The next day was mad crazy fun. We fit ALOT in just in case we wouldn't have<br>time for it all. There is a Sydney element to this city and a little<br>Melbourne too. The city feels safe enough as we walk around and clean.<br>Not as many homeless people or street kids as last time i was here with<br>Alana. The normal banter on to yourself and beggar, pushing carts, can<br>collecting people are around although the ...

... cell phone out and is texting all of the time. And they even get cellphones way fancier than what I have ever had in the states. The razor is old hat down here. I´ll tell you, it´s pretty amazing down here. We are pretty much celebraties. People dedicate songs to us and people are always coming up and talking with us. Part of it is that Paraguayans are super hospitable to begin with. But if you get some kind of bachelors degree that can´t get you ...

... ourselves here... But... what you won't see on the LiveJournal Blog is the a short (1min41sec) movie collage of our pictures complete with accompanying music on YouTube. (Bless our new laptop and the random movie-making program we discovered on it last week!)

... this eventful hello we started our wine touring. We first decided to go to Francis Ford Copolla's winery. This involved driving from Sonoma Valley to Napa Valley over the mountains on an extremely curvy/twisty road. I thought the drive to Whistler was twisty and windy. This drive was even more extreme with some turns involving near complete u turns while going up the mountain. (Kevin Note: The first lesson from this trip was the fact that Napa Valley is not where all the ...

... of stalls with fresh produce and amazing vegetables like lemon cucumbers!! We wandered round getting free smaples of cheese, fruit and honey and bought bread, chees and a basket of baby tomatoes that came in all shapes, sizes and colours. We also met a local artist who had paintings of Sonoam and the town square so we decided to buy one for our picture wall (which is going to look pretty packed when we get back). We found a good picture of the town square on Farmers Market day ...
