Today we departed Sacramento, where we were lucky enough to have breakfast provided by the Chinese United Methodist Church, for the grape laden land of Napa. After navigating the maze of Sacramento traffic and some confusing cues, we were out on the road in some fantastic weather, working our way towards the rolling hills of wine country. We made our way across sunflower fields, fruit orchards, and the greatest sight for sore mid-western eyes, an errant corn field. Though the sun was hot and many of the fields were dry, before long, the canopy of the trees on the mountainside provided great shade for the beautiful, winding climb on California 121 through the hills and vineyards. As the afternoon faded to evening, so too did the warm breezes of the afternoon fade to the chilled winds off the ocean, no longer blocked by the hills. Fortunately, before long, we shivered our way to the stayover and settled in for the evening, setting about chores and preparing for the trek to the ocean the next day.
