Luise and Martin visiting - August 2007

In August my sister Luise, her husband Martin and their daughter Mathilde came to visit us. It was their first time in California and even though they only stayed with us for two weeks, we got a lot of sightseeing done. One of the first stops was a trip to Wine Country in Sonoma. Here is Caroline sniffing a Pinot Noir at the "Gloria Ferrer" winery.

We also went to Point Reyes - we are amazed by the scenery every time we go out there.

and we climbed the many, many steps down to the lighthouse.

On our way home we stopped by the Oyster farm at Sir Francis Drake's Bay and prepared some nice BBQ'ed oysters that evening. Of the last days of their visit, Martin and I went to an American Football game to see the San Francisco 49ers take on Denver Broncos.
