and with our arrival in Davis, my work was here was done. Jack delivered to his sweet Meg and Mungo (as well as two cats).

We arrived at night and so it was not until the next morning that I was able to see how grand and spectacular Davis really was.(Meg lives in a section of town were all the street names are from The Lord of The Rings, making Jack triple happy since when we were down in the Grand Canyon he kept muttering "Lord of the fucking Rings...". Unfortunately someone was getting all evil the night we arrived and TPed some poor Hobbit's house). Mostly the place is all flowering cactus, orange trees, lemon trees,orchards of almond trees as well as all kinds of other nuts, dog parks and once again warm weather.

Small University town and home to one of the best vet programs in the US, where Dr. Jones has an office(this is really why I made the trip, just to see that sign- damn we are proud of her).

Unfortunately I did not have time to take the 30 min. drive to (Sideways)Sonoma from Davis and taste some of North America's best wines, instead I settled for a great mimosa at a great breakfast spot, did a little drive-a-bout and then jumped a United jet out of Sacramento to Montreal via Chicago(where I got stuck for 4 hours, lucky for the blog, and got home at 4:30am). Woke up the next morning to -30 but the sun made it a blazing gorgeous day.
