Week 1 ~ Aug 14th 2006

After spending almost 5 months in the US and doing nothing but sleep and watch crappy movies in the serene lazy atmosphere of Pleasant hill and El Cerrito, it dawned on me one day in August that life was sucking! what a starting revelation?? That turned out to be the day of atonement and I decided to embark on an exploration that would be double pronged (kill my weekends and also something that I can learn from). Unfortunately I had a bunch of colleagues who were either married or had other worthy ideas of spending weekends that I could turn to no one to accompany me on my travails. After debating with my innerself and cursing my predicament, I decided to do it on my own. It was then that I laid my hands on a bay area guide that was safely ensconsed in my office bag. My eyes immediately chanced upon the NAPA tour. I called the tour agency (www.guideyou.com) and arranged for a tour to NAPA that saturday (Aug 19th)
