We arrived in San Francisco, CA this evening. We left Eureka this morning and traveled through more redwood forests on U.S. Route 101, or Avenue of the Giants as it wound its way through the forests. They are really big trees!! Along the way, we also went into Sonoma and Napa valleys where there were vineyards everywhere and just about every sign ended with the word "vineyard" or "winery"! We visited one winery called Castello di Amorosa. It was a Tuscan inspired castle -- beautiful to behold and vistas to match.
