Also while we were in the San Francisco area we took a day to do wine country. We had to do some market research you know. We visited the quaint small town
on The Russian River, Guerneville and the small burg of Sonoma. I had no idea that a small town such as Guerneville could be so gay. Thanks to the
wonderful folks at The Rainbow Cattle Company and for those extra cold beers. As you can see from the pictures, we visited many wineries and did our
fair share of tastings. California does produce some of the best wines in the world. My favorite was the Korbel winery.
Next, we went to the Dore Alley Street Fair on Folsum Avenue and Dore alley in San Francisco. We have never seen anything like the street fair before in
our lives. We were in amazement every step we took down the fair. For those who haven’t been to the Dore Alley fair or the Folsum Street fair, it is kind
of a combination of a wild night at an orgy, IML and a Gay Pride festival. There are probably hundreds of totally naked or partially naked people wandering
around shopping in broad daylight.
Next to the naked people are the San Francisco police, protecting and serving the community. We saw jock strap Twister
(pictured), paddling and flogging demonstrations, booths selling porn and passing out condoms, circle jerks, water sports and about everything you can
possibly imagine pierced or tattooed right out on the street. It is amazing that in this day and age that something like The Dore Alley street fair still
exists. I think it is all MARVEL-ous.
Also when visiting San Jose Patrick and I made great new friends Noel and Jeff. In the pictures you will see us high above San Jose enjoying our new
friends and dinner at a fabulous restaurant call Grandview.
Last but not least, we are pictured back home in Ft. Lauderdale at the famous gay beach at Sebastian Street.
