California – Part 2

Most of this part of California was being tourists around Fresno and Vacaville – Yosemite for the huge trees, Napa Valley for the vineyards, Old Town Sacramento, Sausalito for eggs benedict and the Golden Gate and of course a tour of the Jelly Belly factory, so this post is mainly a collection of photographs.

One trip was around Lake Berryessa and the small town of Winters and the local wildlife preserve, the drought is really hitting this area, the lake is so low.

You can’t go to Sausalito without taking a couple of pictures from that side of the Golden Gate.

Old Sacramento is a really nice part of town, had lunch overlooking the Sacramento River at Rio City Café and then took a carriage ride with Phil the horse – Rusty wasn’t impressed.

The Jelly Belly factory tour was really good, free samples – so what do they call the rejects – Belly Flops. Misshapen Jelly Bellys that they sell at $10 for a 2 pound bag – who cares what shape they are.

Napa was really busy, lots a tourists getting in the way – and some really great views of the vineyards. Yosemite has its own share of remarkable views, and some really incredible trees.

After leaving Vacaville we spent our last night in California at Yreka, just an overnight stop before entering Oregon.
