SF Day 2

Travelling with Einar is always a bit of an adventure. Having no set agenda (or letting him set it) tends to make the trip much more relaxing for me. Today the plan was to leave the Yosemite area and head either to the Napa Valley or to Muir Woods. 
He found a Winery Tour that included a Tram Ride and we were both interested.  
Einar brings his GPS and punches in our supposed destination. However, we seldom follow its direction. At least not at first. We like the small country roads. Yes I know you can tell that to a GPS. Don't ask. We stubbornly go north when it says to turn west. It doesn't bother us when it is continuously telling us to turn around. We just turn the sound off. Until we realize that we're on a highway heading back east into the National Forest. How did that happen??  We agree that we were just treated to an unexpected but very scenic detour and turn around to follow GPS directions for awhile.

Coming down from the mountains is incredibly scenic and could be hair-raising if you're not used to mountain roads.  The places where we thought we should get photos had no place to pull over so those pictures are only in our memory.

Again, a large part of our day was spent driving.  But we eventually got to the Sterling Winery.

Napa Valley is beautiful!  And the tour was enlightening.  We are not terribly knowledgeable about wines or wine-making, so it was a good learning experience.
