On June 3rd and 4th I decided to take my aunt on a drive
around
the San Francisco Bay Area. We visited my apartment and where I
work. Then we drove through Half Moon Bay, San Francisco, and San
Rafael before stopping for the night. the next day we went
through the Napa Valley -- Wine Country. We only stopped in one
winery, Robert Mondavi Winery, which is on the South end of Napa
Valley on Highway 29. All these pictures except for one are from
the winery. These pictures were taken with a Nikon CoolPix 990.

This
is the fountain at the entrance to the winery. The entrance
is on to the left of the picture, the road is to the right. Lots
of people milling about. Certainly one of the more popular
wineries that we passed, judging by the cars parked outside. [Full]
At
the entrance archway there are two statues. On the right is
this statue of a bear, I think. Actually, I thought it was a
seal, but my sister said it's a bear. Whatever. Making it smooth
means you don't have to worry so much about the statue getting
weathered. [Full]

To
the left of the entrance archway is this statue of St Francis.
It looks quite old. On the right of the picture you can see part
of the information booth. [Full]
The
next few pictures are from the gift shop at the winery. We
start with an overview of the room. [Full]
Plates,
bowls, and a pitcher. Note how they blend in with the books. [Full]
