Picture-post…

Last Friday evening, Evi arrived in San Francisco. We have started our very busy holiday-programme, so there won’t be much time left for me to write. I’ll let the pictures do the talking…

On Saturday, we visited Berkeley’s Farmers’ Market together:

On Sunday, we visited San Francisco. This picture was taken with our new digital SLR camera, with a shutter speed of 2 seconds:

On Monday, we went to Sonoma Valley in Wine Country. There, I reserved a horseback-riding trip for the two of us:

Oh yes, I mounted that horse voluntary! In the afternoon, we visited one of Sonoma’s wineries:

and its caves:

On Monday evening, Filip joined us in Berkeley. He will travel with us for one week and a half. On Tuesday, we went back to SF all together. In Chinatown, we saw a “fortune-cookie factory”:

In the afternoon, we visited Alcatraz, where I put Evi behind bars for a while:

In the evening, we went to The Mission for a couple of cocktails and a fine dinner. The cocktails were good, the alternative might even have been better:

On Wednesday finally, we went to Napa Valley. More vineyards:

Nice photos!
And funny to see fortune cookies in Chinatown...when everybody knows they are originally from Japan!
