A visit to San Francisco...Napa Valley... Medicino

I have been having fun in San Francisco the past two days learning about real estate. Robert Kiyosaki outlined the cycle of Real Estate.
1. Financial Disturbance - dot bomb, 9-11, war, etc.
2. Expansion of prices - easy credit, greed, huge buyer demand
3. Euphoria - overestimate future returns, no concern for fudamentals,fools rush in
4. Financial Distress - prices reach peak, nothing is cheap, insiders take profit
5. Market Reversal - prices start to fall
6. Financial Crisis - panic rules the market, tightening monetary policy
7. Lender of last resort comes in

Marshall Sylver had a great Hypnosis show. He explained how to use subconscious reprogramming to achieve greater success in life.

I ran into some old friends at the real estate expo Kate, who had been a waitress at my bothers first restaurant(which was sold), she is now in the shoe shine business with her boyfriend, so I bought a shine to support them and Sean Jacobsen, I have not seen him since he went off to Harvard business school.

I also visited Patrick Evan's salon, We shared thermal reconditioning stories. He owns a nice salon in downtown San Francisco.

I picked up my girlfriend and we drove across the Golden Gate bridge to Sausalito We met the rock balancing guy.
We then drove to the wet yet beautiful Napa Valley. It rained everyday but we still had a great time. We stayed at a bed and breakfast. Had dinner at Mustards, Had lunch and some wine at Auberge du soleil Toured the following wineries Schramsberg vineyard's Robert Mondavi, Dutch Henry. Everyone who served us wine during the tastings would romance the wine look at the wine with their eyes wide open like they were in love. They would salivate and swallow a few times till they could not resist anymore and they would then pour themselves a glass. Then next day We drove to Calistoga, saw the gyser. Then Medicino, nice peaceful place but all the restaurants are closed till dinner. We then drove back to San Franscisco. I will update date this post with pictures and more stories in the near future.
