California - here and gone!

We are blazing a fast trail down through California.  I know, I know.  It's crazy not to investigate and observe the millions of people, cities and towns in this massive state.  Did you know - they actually have the largest number of farms than any other state (according to the billboard I saw)? Cool.  It has gorgeous green hills with grape vines, strawberries, and stuff we can see, but haven't verified yet.  Very pretty.

However, since we are still in need of drying out big Santiago and we have seen 90% rain, wind and clouds, we are making a beeline for Phoenix!  We will hit this coast in July when the sunshine rules.

PS - my blackberry landed in my wine glass last night.  good lordy.
