        Kat shows us what a real tattoo looks like

        I love how that glass & straw strategically placed itself… more pics of Kat in the not so web friendly form were taken for our amusement.

        Again, it was awesome meeting up with Giles & Paula.  Way too many great conversations happening all at once... California sights & crazy SF weather, future products and the usual forum talk.  Come back again soon!

                It was so much fun meeting up with you all last night - my head hurt this morning  😞

                Thanks again for my lovely tee-shirt (and thanks also for NOT giving me the Benders thong!)

                Love and hugs to all, and thanks again to DEP for sorting our luggage problem (sorry we didn't see you again last night).

                😘  😘  😘

                  We lunched yesterday with Kiya and Demitra at Russian River, an amazing brewery in Santa Rosa.  We love the names of the Belgian style beers:  they have a note on one of the boards that another beer, Procrastination, is coming soon - G and I thought it was a joke but K&D assure us it's a real beer.  We are looking forward to some more funky names (Constipation, Aggravation and Fornication were about the best ideas we could come up with after a couple of rounds…)

                    We left San Fran this morning

                    About 40 miles East of the Bay, it was up in the 100's, so a quick stop for coolant was required

                    We then hit Jamestown (population 850), to go to a bar Kiya and Demitra had recommended (because you can smoke inside)

                    But being Wednesday, it was shut.  Luckily we found another watering hole and communed with the locals on the porch (the lady to my left, holding the ciggie, has recently lost 280lbs - mein Gott!)

                    We were too late to eat lunch there, but we found a Mexican that was open.  Whilst eating this Burrito, we were entertained by the 5 locals on the table next to us.  We now know what various Taser's sound like and also 1001 useful (!!!) things you can do to your friends family and pets with 50,000 Volts.  We backed out of the restaurant slowly, making sure no eye contact was made…..

                    Honey, can I get one of these in the carry-on?

                    Tomorrow is Yosemite.  Super excited.  Even I may be able to take a couple of half decent pics…...

                        On the way to Groveland.  Tempting, but did not stop here

                        Given the amount of stock she steals, she really should be on the other side of the door

                        Got to Groveland and had to check this joint out http://www.iron-door-saloon.com/

                            I love how the Defenestration is a "hoppy" beer.  Terrible pun, but it amuses me nonetheless.

                            @Giles:

                            And here is proof that not all Mexican beers are watery yellow swill. coughCoronacough

                            Have fun tomorrow in Yosemite!

                                          Yes, we have certainly found some sunshine.  We set off early this morning to get a few hours in Yosemite National Park - way too little time really but I still feel very privileged to have seen what we did, the scenery is SPECTACULAR.  The place deserves several days at least, and we'd love to go back and do some hiking there.  The weather was fabulous - sunny, clear and warm without being too hot (although now we've arrived in Lone Pine, just west of the Death Valley National Park it's a lot hotter, around 100 deg F).

                                          So now G and I will both bore you with loads of Yosemite pix (lots of them of the same view), and his will no doubt be better than mine but here's a few to start with.

                                          Just entered the park and driving towards the main valley:

                                          The big waterfall from across the river:

                                          Bit closer:

                                          El Capitan, the largest lump of granite on our planet, no way to show scale here but I believe G has some pix of climbers (AKA nutters):

                                          Random waterfall on drive east across the park:

                                          View of famous "Half Dome" in the distance:

                                          Giles looking pensive in front of beautiful lake:

                                          😘

                                            I'll get a few more pics up later, but it is beer o'clock in Lone Pine CA.

                                            I used to be a rock climber in my teens and one of my teenage ambitions was to climb El Capitan.  So going to Yosemite today and seeing the rock was something special.

                                            I don't know what they put in the tea at school, but seeing El Capitan in person made me re-address that particular ambition.

                                            Holy Feck

                                            There are 2 climbers half way up there (I promise)

                                            In the red square are 3 climbers who look like they are in the process of hauling stuff up

                                            And to give you a sense of scale, this is the red square super zoomed
