My trip to California was mostly about people: I had a home exchange in Guerneville on the Russian River where Susan joined me for a one week and my sister Jeanne for another. Susan and I also had a couple of days on a houseboat in Sausalito. We visited my good friends Randy and Suki for a wine tour of Sonoma.
