Calistoga

With the las two nights being spent in your Eureka Ca and  in  the Fort Brag area, two unremarkable places to stay, they are however on the California coastline and that is always beautiful.

Our stay in Calistoga was a sweet surprise. The gal Betty who ran the bed-and-breakfast have been doing so in her own home for 35 years. Their home shows the many years of their own  travels...all over the walls and along the floors, of memories they collected during their travels. Sadly Betty's husband had only passed away a month prior to our arrival. But Bette felt that the continuation of the B&B was going to save her from loneliness. She and her husband enjoyed a lifetime of raising their children traveling and being involved in the wine scene. She has a sign out in front of her home naming their house "Zinfandel House"

Coming down the coast.

Like the grapes I needed a little shade too! Hot!
