California

California is a vast vertical expanse of geography and the longest state in the union. Over 700 miles in length covering an extremely diverse geography and climate with high & low desert, beautiful beaches, punctuated by redwood & giant sequoia timber stands in proportions found nowhere else in North America. Exciting cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles & San Diego compliment smaller communities of Eureka, Napa, Monterey & Bishop. Eureka has nearby Humbolt State Park with towering redwood forests. In Napa, Bourassa Vineyards and Cooking with Julie. Monterey's jewel is Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Bishop is very proud of its murals. Nearby skiing at Mammoth Mountain, rugged desert in Death Valley and surfing along the coast are all part of the great California experience. One of a kind attractions like Sea World Adventure Park, Legoland California, Hollywood and even the Orange County Market Place draw millions of visitors from around the world to California. Special people like BMX pro rider Shawn White and the San Diego Highwayman, Thomas Weller confirm that interesting and good-hearted people can be found everywhere! Bonus Feature: A special video treat, an evening "Cooking with Julie." Homemade pasta and chocolate truffles...Yum!
