You're right, the Vichy waters were most enjoyable!

Jenn - Thanks! I did this post to hopefully plan the seed that people need to visit Mendocino - its a beautiful place! Crystal - I think my next step will be to compare this Vichy Spa to the one in France. It was a wonderful relaxing experience, and I now fully understand why people "take the waters". Simona - Thanks! I had no idea either before this weekend! Claudia - I am very lucky, but its nice to push the bounderies every now and again =) I agree there's nothing like munching on a bowl of these pepitas. Very tasty! Sophie - Thanks, and I agree it was a wonderful experiences and I am very luck! Helen - Thanks! I think you would really enjoy this area, it reminds me a bit of parts of Italy but has a style all its own. Add it to your next 5 year plan! Sippity - Having been a SoCal gal myself, I say there are certain things where there are just no comparison, this area is one of them (SoCal leads in other areas). Definitely give this a try when you go through - and leave plenty of room in the trunk of your car for the bottles you will surely collect. The whole reason I did this post was to give people the idea that they should stop off and see whats off of Hwy 101. Have a wonderful time! Carolyn – thanks for the well wishes!

What a wonderful place to celebrate. I'm not much into camping, but I'm tempted to go on a camping trip just by looking at these pictures. But what I'll be thinking about tonight, though, is the spicy pepitas and a glass of Pinot Gris. The most delicious idea I've come across today. Happy Anniversary, Lou Ann!
