Hiking
No, you're not on the wrong blog, I actually went hiking this morning! Shachar and I went to the Henry Coe State Park in Morgan Hill and did a very nice loop (plus a bit extra when I took us on the wrong trail). We even stopped for a small picnic (have I mentioned how much I love picnics?) and he made turkish coffee with cardamon which was quite good -- and very amusing. 
Its a beautiful park with tons of trails and the one we went on had a booklet with information about the different trees and things we saw. We saw a couple of lizards and a very cool line of wild turkeys walking along. I love these red Madrone trees where the bark peels off in little curls and the underlying wood is a really smooth, lovely red.
On the way home, we stopped by the Testarossa Winery in Los Gatos and did a tasting and took a tour of the facility. I bought a bottle of wine to bring to Dad next time I see him, since the place is named for Red Heads.
