New Place, OLD Friends!

So, settled quite nicely near San Jose, CA; about 70miles south of San Fran, in a place called Morgan Hill.  Yes, we know it sounds like it should be a soap like Knots Landing or Falcon Crest, or Dawsons Ridge!  Its actually quite pleasant, what-ho!  Kind of like a big Shrivenham.  Plenty of bars and coffee shops and restaurants;  inc a brewpub which makes a very goood raspberry wheat beer.  (Honest, it IS nice!)

Staying with the very hospitible Robin & Tamara, who fortunately are keen on sampling local beer and wine products!!  No car, but looking forward to using the local buses to get around.  BUT: they have a pool onsite with jacuzzi!  Get IN.  Literally! 

My 41st tomorrow so looking forward to suitable celebrations – this may be my first “adult” bday abroad?!!
