Bay Area Visit, Day Two
Waking up in Yountville was difficult except for the dogs alerting us of their presence, the rich coffee on the stove and the crisp air outside.
After a fuzzy morning and a hearty breakfast we took a six mile walk through town, down country roads by endless acres and rows of grapevines.
Alyosha definitely had the right idea for the afternoon, but the chef was cooking and the hosts were pouring and welcoming and the grill was being christened. And speaking of christenings - one of their guests was a veteran and a former friar who lives at the Yountville Veterans Home. He informed us of two things - One, that the consensus at the home is that George Bush is evil and they are all against the war; and two, the female veterans hate the veteran widows that still live at the home. Hmm, I'm thinking Golden Girls crossed with Desperate Housewives crossed with West Wing.
