    I really enjoyed all the places that we went. I enjoyed Monterey, the cannery, the growing areas. I enjoyed Pebble Beach area and 17 mile coastline. I enjoyed seeing Carmel and Sonoma. I loved Lake Tahoe and Yosemite that were so interesting and beautiful. I found the artichoke farm and Napa Valley, the information about the wines and the lunch were very good. Also, I was glad to learn about growing almonds and olives. I enjoyed seeing Sacramento, the city and the information about the rivers and the bridge. Also, I enjoyed seeing San Francisco, the wharf, the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. The boat rides on Lake Tahoe and on San Francisco Bay were very interesting. The hotels were very good and so were the places that we went to eat.

    Your director was excellent. Shared lots of pertinent information and was so helpful in every area. Each designation was well picked. Each one had interesting things to do and see. Saw California is a very good way to did not realize it had such beautiful scenery and lovely people. So glad I was given this opportunity
