Steam cars and wine.

Steam cars and wine.  

   We started our day with a few chores. Jim got the oil change done and I got all the bed linens washed and dried. Once all the chores where done and we had lunch, we went for a drive to Aeries vineyard. The view from up there was amazing. I took a picture of a sign showing where we are in relation to a big flood they had back in 1993. We also got to do some wine tasting. I tried a French Bordeaux and Aeries wineries own "Confluence conundrum". I preferred the French wine. Once we had a drink and a few pictures, we came back to the marina. At the Marina which by the way is also a winery, we got to try out chocolate coconut and peanut butter cup wines. Hey it's a tough job but someone's got to do it!

   Randy had given Jim some test bottles to have our oil tested. So we grabbed those and went off to the post office to send them to the lab. The walk was so stressful that we just had to stop for an ice cream. I know again, tough life here, you guys have no idea the stress we deal with. There were 3 different ice cream stores, so this was a hard decision!. Anyway when all the tough stuff was over, we walked around town to check out some of the old steam cars. We saw a 1911, a 1914 and I did not get the year of the last one we saw. How cool are these thing! I can't keep a 5 year old car from rusting. They just don't build them like they used too.

   It was very warm here today, we had to turn on the air conditioner for the first time this year I think. Anyway, when we got back to the boat, we quickly decided to go for a swim.  The pool at this marina is quite cool but today it was very refreshing. Unfortunately Jim forgot to take the cell phone out of his pocket; but hopefully the rice thing does the job and we don't have to buy yet another phone.

   Tomorrow we plan on taking a bike ride through their bike trails and probably spend the afternoon at the pool again.  It's a tough life I tell you.
