Another busy day in San Francisco

Too many photos and not enough time to get them all sorted out. We were out early again and off over the Golden Gate Bridge to the Sonara wine region which is in the valley south of the better known Knappa Valley. We stopped off for a tasting at a Cave next door to one owned by the Jacuzzie familyand then headed onto Sonora itself, a town formerly built and occupied by the Spaniards /Mexicans. We dropped into a lovely little Cave managed by Jen - will add the name later, but lovely wines. From there back to the North bay area, nice resort, very busy where we saw the man building the balancing stones by the shore - fascinating, while offshore there was multi million $$$$$$$$$$$$ luxury yacht owned by some Ruski chappi. I even had a chat to the local Polis who was very nice and civil. Back to the hotel in time for the happy hour, then out to find the Edinburgh Castle Bar which was nearby - another story, but we made it, staff were brilliant, manager from Rutherglen and barman who had already been to Edinburgh several times. Will add more later when I get sorted.

Off to Alcatraz in the morning - where blokes like me, married for 40 years would have been in and out !!!
