It just so happened that my first weekend after arriving coincided with a long weekend — Labor Day in the US — which meant Monday was a day off. As a result, many people were heading into San Francisco to spend the day there. This led to heavy traffic and parking issues, so we decided to drive away from the city and head to Napa Valley instead.

The weather was beautiful, and we had the chance to taste local wine paired with Spanish cheese. The valley itself is quite vast, and the grapes were excellent!

So far, I haven’t had much luck capturing a good shot of the Golden Gate Bridge, as it’s been covered in thick fog. Only a small part of the bridge briefly revealed itself as we were heading toward Napa.

One of the things that I’m quite excited about in America is vintage cars, especially the ones that are covered with rust and abandoned, you can find lot of those along country roads and this one was parked next to a diner where we stopped for a moment.

Napa downtown was nothing special so we moved further to north to Calistoga where we stopped at a winery to taste some wine and grapes in fields.

On our way home we’ve been fooling around a bit 🙂
