San Francisco Golden Gate

The trolley:

Me and Mrs rolex ridin' on the trolley to the wharf

The rock

A day of wine tasting with the absolute #1 tour guide in Napa and the surrounding areas

His S500 had over 210,000 miles on it and it rode like butta

Everywhere you look - grape vines

but no jelly

(Cakebread Winery)

The old Coppola winery

Sampling some nice wines

This was interesting. Two trees grown into one:

One half growing lemons. The other half growing oranges. The smell coming from the orange and lemon blossoms would blow your mind

Lunch at Mustard's was one of the best meals EVER! Grilled seasoned pork chop (medium), "pureed" potatoes, and some kind of cabbage crap that I was able to scrape away from my meat and taters

Everywhere you look there were rose trees and bushes. Apparently roses are susceptible to the same kinds of diseases grape vines are sensitive to. Roses are the "lookout" for diseases for the grape vines

Coppola winery had a great building

Every Sunday in this sleepy little town we stayed in they release hot air balloons

That looks like a great time. It's been too long since I've been to the bay area.

Great pic Rolex but I thought you were older. I need to start looking at your age posted instead of your avatar.

I get that a lot.

Despite the pre-warning from our guide the "BUSH MAN" got me and the wife on the wharf. Not my video, but you'll understand who the bush man is.

Did you actually go to Alcatraz or no? I did the audio tour there and it was really cool. Lots of interesting little facts that you would never have found out if you just walked through.

It's so strangh but true. Once you end up in the prison system. It's a whole nother world that you thought only existed on TV. You are in another world. I've been arrested and seen what the cook county sheriffs get away with in a regular city jail but I can't imagine what goes on in a state prison.

Nice pictures

Personally I never understood what all the buzz is about Cali.... I've only been on the East coast, and Texas a few times.... still tho, I'd like to atleast make a trip out to Cali once to see what it's all about... San Fransisco seems like it would be the place to go.
