Dear California

Some people think you're full of hippies and rainbow flags. But other things you brought to my life this week include:

Champagne with pop rocks in it: This was described as an adrenaline rush "Sometimes something explodes in your mouth and sometimes it doesn't." Heh.

A bartender a hipster speakeasy:  You didn't like talking to the girls who thought they were the Kardashians. When they asked where they could score some pot, you said "on the streets". And then you said "you know, it's not legal" and they said "but it's not illegal".  Your disdain for them trying to break the rules melted my heart a little. Also, you had the best brunch suggestion ever.

Golden Gate Park:  I'm not so much "into nature", but not a bad way to spend 6 miles of your time.

Cable Cars:  I don't understand it, but I like it.

Honesty:  There was one honest cab driver who stopped the meter because he was lost and didn't want to overcharge for his mistake. 10 points for honesty, sir.

Napa:  Pretty much all of it.  It's beautiful, people are friendly, and there is wine everywhere.  Who doesn't like that?

Cute Boys:  Dear Chateau Montelena, you have some charming boys who entertained us during the tasting. I appreciate both the banter (Tiger vs. Lance in a game of "Who's more terrible?") and the honesty ("you can drink this cab with a cheeseburger"). And your knowledge of Texas stuff was impressive.
