A few vineyards that hosted us (IDS) for sampling the finest of wines with out side dining and catering served under massive shade trees. The IDS folks are very very wealthy and travel world wide in search of trees and visited regional arboretums. There were so many places that welcomed us to all kinds of the best of Cali. I am way too poor as a retired college educator to do that myself. I was given the scholarship to take this trip because my life long contributions to teaching students Dendrology and Ecology of forests.

Thanks again for all the places I need to go.
