City to country - wine country that is!

 Leaving the beautiful city of San Francisco, always hard.

Heading to the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, very easy!

Crossing the Golden Gate and heading north -

- to arrive in what has to be some of the most beautiful countryside in California.

More on visits to wineries - there are about 600 - and great little wine country

 towns later.

San Francisco - Alamo Square. . . . . . . .

So much so see in this wonderful city.

The entire park of Alamo Square is under a massive renovation - no green

 grass remaining, new modern facilities being built, so all closed off right now.

However, the 'painted ladies' still adorn the surrounding hilly streets - and the

 city in the background continues to shimmer in the California light.

Always special - always so west coast.

Easy to leave one's heart!

Angels over the city by the bay. . . . . . . .

A fun morning at the San Carlos Art and Wine Faire.

Bob snapped Paula and me at the Blue Angels air display - San Francisco Bay -

on a perfect Sunday afternoon.

We are having great time on the west coast. . . . . . . .but sadly the news from

 North Carolina following Hurricane Matthew's visit is very disturbing. 

 Several deaths, much destruction, major flooding, and a million plus homes/businesses

 without power, including our house, and it may not be repaired until October 16. 
Our daughter has gone to remove all the food from our frig/freezer!  

The coast is severe but the storm came far inland also, things are really

 bad in our area.
