Wine, Whales and back into San Francisco

 Monday May 2nd we were riding through Sonoma and Napa Valleys
This is the City square in Sonoma. Roses here are beautiful.



Some of the vines at the "Valley of the Moon" Winery




Flowers in the Garden of another Winery.


Point Reyes - Sir Frances Drakes Beach and the cliffs . Drake landed here on his round the world trip and raids on the Spanish gold ships.


 The beach north from Point Reyes- The Wind was blowing hard and it was 38 degrees here.


Flowers on the Rocks near the light house-waiting to photograph the two whales I saw. We are up about 500 Feet or better above the water.


The light house - its closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays---good things the stairs were equivalent of 30 stories down - then we would have had to come back up.



Two grey whales- a mother and her calf. Look at the bottom of the photo and double click to bring it up in you picture viewer.


Sea Lyons at Pier 39 in San Francisco.




Cable cars ride.


Lombard St. in SF.


Leaving SF area tomorrow headed back South toward Bakersfield, CA, may stop off in Yosemite.
