Monday and Tuesday we took a wonderful mini-vacation at Safari West.
It's a game park with lots of African animals, in the hills of Sonoma county between Santa Rosa and Calistoga, but the overnight experience, in really nicely done up tent-cabins, is very cool: Communal meals in the big dining hall, leading to good conversations.
I keep trying to write up more, but this'll do for now: Well worth going to.
