Napa the land of wine and food~ not much of a wine fan but I was looking forward to the awesome food folks kept talking about in napa. So-o going a couple times I've just been blindly looking for resturants and it's been hit and miss...but this time, every single location we hit was a yum to the tum. In honesty though, my pictures don't have too much to do with the food because I was so busy eating it, I didn't really have much thought to taking pics of it...but anyways on with the pictures:
The light in napa when I went was so unbelieveably beautiful and soft practically all day! How is that possible?? This is the field at Mondavi winery:One of their select wines with a beautiful leaf (the leaf was $25! wow pricy but gorgeous)
Their logo I think~
Then there was a visit to opus one.
The view from the terrace of Opus, the picture doesn't do it justice though:

Ok I did finally after devouring all the food from breakfast lunch and a fab french dinner got to pause and think, forgot to take picture of food! aiee! Well, at the least I did get to take pictures of the beautiful and delicious dessert. Don't remember the names of these but that is caramelized sugar on top of the banana which was my favorite part of the dessert. Yumm crispy, soft, sweet, delicious all at the same time.
This was really really good, cake with persimmon in it. mmmmm....
