classic star wars and wine on the house; this hotel’s happy hour is a winner (@ Hotel Rex)

this guy; ‘old crusty’; so good (@ Rogue Ales Public House San Francisco)

made it to @saintfrankcoffee — this bar! (@ Saint Frank Coffee)

Palo Alto been doing its best to charm me; gorgeous weather, great uni town vibe, and a bunch of tech giants and their crazy money thrown in, somewhat confusingly (@ Stanford University)
22August2015 23:08
stopped in at Sta Cruz, which was kinda grey and gloomy, but did have this wonderful, colourful vegan macro bowl to brighten up my day; after too much fatty food this was amazing (@ Cafe Gratitude Santa Cruz)

spending a few days in the Carmel Valley, where I’m writing about bush spirits and hiking some amazing bushland; it’s pretty magical (@ Carmel Valley River)
20August2015 00:55
this yellow brick road leads to beer; a neat find in the Carmel Valley (@ Valley Greens Gallery)

California, man! (@ Big Sur Coast)
19August2015 00:30
This road taught me an important lesson today. I’m always inclined to just get to the next place. Driving Highway 1 forced me to take my time, always throwing up delays or (incredible) distractions. Remember, life is about the journey. (@ Big Sur Coast)

this pup’s moving into the AirBnB I’m staying at
16August2015 02:42
this rabbit is so well camouflaged against the California dirt that the phone’s compression algorithm wants to disappear it

brunch / wine tasting; the civilised way to drink before noon (@ Artisan)

Paso, making a case for small towns (@ Music in the Park)
14August2015 00:35
it hurts every time they call this place Paso Ro-balls (where it should be Spanish, ró-blés); but it is a super cute small town

I want to get into an argument with the kids at the next table about Westeros geography. this is a problem.
10August2015 02:38
somewhat strange that I’ve had to come to a brewery to get decent vego food; so it’s a pizza, but it’s super fresh and nice and light so leaves room to taste more beers! (@ Firestone Walker Brewery Taproom Restaurant)

finding it hard to block hours at a time, so the writing is going in fits at cafes, bars, wineries, and breweries! (@ Figueroa Mountain Brewing)

lots of wine tasting in Lompoc today; some great stuff but the first probably the best — Scott Cellars is all about the grape, whether singles or well chosen blends; I particularly loved a cuvée blanc of pinot blanc & chardonnay, and a couple of vintages of sangiovese the leaves in the branding represent the specific varietals used, so vary across bottle labels (@ Scott Cellars)
06August2015 20:17
next stop is just down the road from Sta Barbara, so I’ve parked by the beach and am working my way through the city’s many wine tasting centres; this beautiful artwork from The Valley Project, who are doing fascinating small batch terroir-obsessed wine (@ The Valley Project)

getting too much sun to not wear a hat, and I’m exploring mission towns, so this is me now (@ Ventura Beach)
05August2015 01:40
the ocean is a great draw too (@ Ventura Beach)
05August2015 01:39
first stop is Ventura; a trashy old mission town that’s somehow buzzy and completely charming; I was nervous starting this trip but this gorgeous first stop has me convinced it was a good idea (@ Ventura City Hall)

so much of the vegan food here in LA is so not healthy! over salty/sweet, low protein; as though it’s just a trendy break from meat-eating

I was skeptical but had to go and try Bulletproof; fancy-sounding “bio-hackers” but certainly couldn’t live vego on this — just salty rice and veg, with basically no protein (hopeless/ridiculous, and their explication of the nutritional science is just as bad) (@ Bulletproof Coffee)

fancy vegan brunch; really cool that seasonal plant-based food can be this amazing (@ Plant Food and Wine)

it’s appalling that it’s come to this, but the solidarity with Goodes being shown across the community is truely uplifting
