So our final weekend adventure with Laura was to go to the Carpenteria bluffs and sanctuary, where there is seal mating season. It was soooo cool, take a look at the beach and the massive number of seals! It was SUPER windy on the way there, and the directions were not at all clear, so I was worried until we came across the last area. Definitely worth it...

Wine tasting part 2
On Saturday, with Michelle being a wonderfully understanding DD, Laura, her two friends, and myself all went up to wine country for some enjoyment of good weather, food and wine. We managed to get to three vineyards in 3 hours, and the peanut gallery only increased from the backseat. Poor Michelle had to put up with a bunch of buzzed happy people talking about everything from the king of spain to relationship challenges. But we all had a great time, and we stayed up in Los Olivos for dinner at a fantastic Greek restaurant called Petros. Definitely one to do again!

What am i doing wrong?
Our landlady's dog barks at me everytime i come up the stairs. Of course when i get close enough the dog will lick my hand, but what am I doing wrong?!?! (Of course our landlady has said the dog is just crazy). Very cute and sweet at times, but also crazy ;)

Wine tasting!
So even if the picture does not show wine, this was my first trip up to wine country. Beautiful area, and we visited Sanford and Roblar, along with a great little lunch at the Los Olivos cafe. I went with our friends Paddy and Ellon who were in the states from Shanghai. It was great to catch up with them, and Paddy was a total photo-nut, so he and I ended up running around snapping photos at anything that a) moved, b) looked interesting, c) everything else. It was super cool to visit this area, and I have a feeling I will be back more than a few times in the next few months!

Fins
...but good ones. We went surfing with dolphins!!! So cool, Michelle had energy to try and paddle out near them. we would get within about 20 feet. We also have a picture of a seal sticking his head out behind me in the surf. Such an amazing experience! Michelle is now hooked on surfing ;)

Lesson learned the hard way
The great thing about having a de facto garden in your front yard is all of the greens you can pick and add to your meal. The bad part is not knowing what is what. Take today for example, I decided I wanted a pepper (medium-sized, it looked ripe enough). So I picked it. And took a BIG bite. Didn't realize it was a spicy one, VERY spicy in fact. I still have the hiccups because of it in fact. Lesson learned, don't trust a pepper, no matter the size...
