(October 24-25) After the downtown SFO tour, we spent the night at my friend's, Mickee very very GORGEOUS home! It was in the American Canyon, a few minutes drive from the Pinoy Community of Vallejo and 'THE' Napa Valley.
Since this would be Ethan's 1st halloween in the US, she advised us to bring him to Larry's Produce, a nearby pumpkin patch before we head for some wine tasting in Napa Valley. Ethan had fun posing in the pumpkin patches.
We passed by Vallejo community and stopped at the famous Seafood Market for some grocery (since we were enticed to buy some longaniza after tasting them at Mickee's breakfast handa), para lang kaming namimili sa Alabang's makati supermarket haha! Everything was there even the mena, chingchunsu stuff, etc...LOL! kaaliw! Everyone said their HELLOs and HIs to each other, I chatted with a few pinoy elderly also.(machika talaga ako kasi =P))
We were all excited to taste the famous wines of Napa so our grocery stop was cut-short. After more than a dozen of wines tasted at V. Sattui Winery (the most famous winery in Napa), my brother was convinced to purchase a couple of bottles of wines then we head off home.
What's nice about SFO is the weather is better than LA and nature is just around the corner, just drive about 15-20 minutes and you're off to some sightseeing in Napa Valley and the American Canyon. Plus it's like the little New York of the west coast, you can see that it really is a fashion and technology hub when you stroll in the downtown, people are well-dressed. Ang laki ng Sephora! They don't have the busy subways of NY but they do have the fun rides of Cable cars.
Thanks to Mickee for letting us stay in your home and I will surely miss you girl. And to my brother for letting me see the other side of California.
