What's Best About The Bay Area?

 We're currently on the peninsula (San Carlos), where I'm helping with my wife's art exhibit at the San Carlos Art & Wine Festival. It's relatively close to Tahoe, a good thing. The town and festival itself are nice, a good thing. The event is crowded, a good thing. And the weather is perfect, a very good thing.

Tahoe locals always claim that mountain weather is the best. Cold at night, hot sun during the day. But the Bay Area has amazing weather as long as you don't mind some fog in the morning. (Wait, that's not called fog. It's called The Marine Layer, which usually burns off by late morning.)

Regardless of the month, it never gets very cold and rarely gets very hot in the Bay Area. That's a feature of life near the Pacific.

We take down Sunday evening, head back to our AirBNB in Emerald Hills, then drive home Monday.

P.S. Like all of the festivals across Northern California this year, business has been good for both art and books. No recession in these parts.

My First Art & Wine Festival For 2022 - Mountain View

 The pandemic forced the cancellation of the Mountain View Art & Wine Festival for both 2020 and 2021.

The festival is finally back this coming weekend, September 10 and 11. The show is on Castro Street in downtown Mountain View. This festival is huge (400 artists and crafts people) and will keep you intrigued with countless types of artists. (Including a writer or two!)

The hours are Saturday 11 to 7 and Sunday 10 to 6. Admission is free. Come on by!
