Back from Vacation and Refreshed!

By Michael Fitzgibbon

At the risk of boring everyone who visits this blog, here's a vacation post.

We returned to Toronto on the weekend from a tremendous vacation in San Francisco, Sonoma and  Carmel. We squeezed everything we could out of this vacation.  Here's the view from our room in Carmel-by-the sea.

Some highlights were seeing Earl Klugh (one of my favourite guitarists) play on Friday at Yoshi's and meeting him after the show was a definite thrill.  Yoshi's is a very cool place and worth a visit if you're ever in the SF area.   His new album, The Spice of Life, is excellent.

17-mile drive was a lot of fun, and the required Lone Cypress picture was taken. 

The drive back to San Francisco along the Coastal route was pretty spectacular. 

Then there were the wineries!  We had a great tour of the "caves" at Kunde Estate Winery in the Sonoma Valley where the wines were only rivaled by the hospitality that was shown to us.  We also really enjoyed our time at Armida Winery in the Russian River Valley and touring around Healdsburg, a really neat little town.

The food was absolutely fantastic.  If you're in Sonoma, you might want to drop by The Girl and the Fig - we did and it was great!

If you're into John Steinbeck, as I am, then you can't pass up a visit to Salinas County and do stop by the produce stands along the side of the road.  We also went to the National Steinbeck Center.   And I'll end this personal post with a quote from Steinbeck (I will not comment further):
