As you can see, the motel was already decked out for Halloween!
Once Shawn arrived, we took off for a reception at one of the wineries for members of the wine club he belongs to. I had the honor and pleasure of being the invited guest. On the way there, we visited another winery. Here are a few pictures of the Pear Valley Winery and the Chronic Cellars in Paso Robles.
Now, don't you get the wrong idea! It may not look that way, but this was by no means pure entertainment. After all, in order to write intelligently in an article or a book about wine, you have to be able to taste and investigate it. Okay? Never mind.
In the evening, dinner in Paso Robles.
One of these four gentlemen I came across in Paso Robles must have imbibed so much that he forgot to put on his appropriate shirt. He was, in fact, Drunk 3.
My pal Shawn wrote his own blog post about this day and has a bunch of fun pictures as well.
Attention: DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING HE SAYS ABOUT ME THOUGH!

What!?! Don’t believe anything I say? Shocking! Dearest, you are the “fiction” writer. I am the journalist and I tell it like it is. For example, that photo of Drunks 1-4. I don’t know where you encountered them, but I was not along with you. Uh huh... Hitting the singles bar early before my arrival or after you’ve dumped me off for the evening. Shameless! Or perhaps these are the monks you had met the other day back for more fun and frivolity? Oh my stars!
ReplyDeleteOh, boy, you found me out again....
DeleteWhere is YOUR (highly fictional, I'm sure) follow up posts about this trip? Mine are done and posted already. Perhaps you don't care to share anything about your secret rendezvous with oddly handsome (or was it strangely creepy?) wine servers or your shocking hush-hush plotting for Swiss world domination? Uh huh. That's what I THOUGHT. Scandalous!
ReplyDeleteHold your horses. I'm working at it. Sheesh.
DeleteWell, please DO try to finish before the authorities catch up with you and through you in the slammer. My stars, you were just out of control on that trip. SHOCKING!
DeleteResearch can be such a tough slog, can´t it? Great pictures. Glad you weren't caught up in the awful fires.
ReplyDeleteThanks Darlene. No fires for us, thank God!
