Left Fresno this afternoon. We had a nearly empty plane to LAX - only 9 people on the flight. Now sitting around waiting for my flight to Auckland.
Just some random photos from my lunch in Fresno and of the take off.
On my way to visit out Pinnacle Vineyards in Paicines, we stopped off in San Juan Bautista to see one of the original Missions set up by the Catholic Church in the late 1700's. This little town looked like it had been used in a Clint Eastwood Western Movie.
Was treated to an amazing dinner at the Montrio Bistro in Monterey.
Could not believe it when I saw 'Pavlova' on the menu. I must say that the Chef did a pretty good version of this great Australian dessert.
Had the pleasure of being driven around Paso Robles visiting our companies vineyards. Beautiful part of the world. While here we visited some lovely wineries to see the difference between the east side and the west side.
Wineries we visited included Sculptera Winery, Halter Ranch and Tablas Creek Vineyard.
Great day out finished with a late lunch at La Cosecha having a really nice Paella.
Have now moved from Fresno to Salinas, which is a area closer to the coast. Long drive to get here but I am in a very nice hotel.
Went on an excursion to the Sequoia National Park. I did not know what to expect except some tall trees. However I saw some of the most amazing scenery, rivers, trees, clear water......it was incredible......No Bears though!
This is a reservoir to help regulate the ice melt after winter. It's massive and is used for recreational boating during the summer.
Great spot to have in the mountains.
This tree is the biggest Sequoia which also makes it the biggest tree in the world.
The Sequoia trees, which only grow on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada at about 5,000 to 7,000 ft altitude, it the world largest trees. They are massive!
Cathy PendergrastLoving your photos. Takes me back to our trip. It was a little colder for us.
Found a little spot I could climb down to and get nice and close to the water flowing. It was spectacular!
