California is such a big and diverse state that it warrants a few posts...
Just in our first few days we have done nature [Fern Canyon & Redwoods], little cities, the Jelly Belly Bean [they say that every time] factory tour, Napa Valley wine tasting and on to a big city.

In order to avoid the danger of the single story, I feel I need to show the other side of our coffee journey. Sometimes you've gotta take what you can get...

[Don't you like the fact that they list coffee & yeast on their sign? Quite the selection.]

v Pit stop in the cute little Victorian-esque town of Ferndale for burgers at a tiny burger stand.

^ Tree hugging, of course.
v Because wouldn't you go? How often does your gps tell you to go to 1 Jelly Belly Lane... I think the answer is: not often enough.

AND... Napa Valley before heading into SanFran.
