To Napa Valley on the Weekend

(Michael) Since, as you all surely know, November 12 is also my birthday, and I was somewhat, uh, tied up at the company, I took the next day off. Angelika and I went to Wine Country for the extended weekend, stayed at a charming bed-and-breakfast, and spent our days visiting all the local wineries, sampling an estimated 30 wines in two days.

For now, I can't look at another glass of wine, but we did stock up on some fine bottles.

Okay, my dear ones, that's it again from your USA vacationers! It would be nice to hear from you as well; here in exile, it's always a joyous day when news from distant lands trickles in. Take care, write lots!
