Earlier we had driven through Napa Valley wine country and saw mile after mile of grape vines, this picture is of a grape vineyard. You can see them on the hill behind. This area gets very little rain and so there is Irrigation in every field.
This is the non irrigated field. This past winter rain brought less than half of the normal rainfall so they are worried about forest fires.
Here we are at Beverly hills, We drove through the area and most of what we saw were .real nice homes but nothing spectacular. We did drive up Mulholland Drive and every home there is behind large bushes and with gates or guards.
The traffic on Rodeo Dr was really heavy, we did see some really nice cars but didn't stay long.
We found ourselves on Hollywood Blvd. and drove the entire length, pass the walk of fame sidewalk and all the stuff movie bluffs want to see and the sidewalk was really crowded with people.
We arrived at Diane's cousins (Ed and Flo) place on Thursday afternoon and had a great 4 day visit and rest. They showed us around the area and we took a drive along the route that the Rose Bowl parade travels on New Year's day.
For those of you into base ball Ed and Flo's grandson plays for the Atlanta braves, The picture above is the jersey the wore on his first day in the majors, the two balls are his first hit and his first home run and on the left is the home run bat. On the bottom and hard to see is the official score card and the managers line up signed by Bobby Cox.
On Sunday we worshiped with them and had a great afternoon with the entire family. Now we turn and begin the long trek towards the north east and head towards Las Vegas.
