Speaking of Junipero, if you like gin that's the place to get it. I don't think you can find it back east here.
Junipero gin is good, but we have one out here that's even better: Sarticious. Makes the best martini you've ever tasted.

That's cruel! So cruel! I might as well be living in a dry state!
Ah, well...I'm an Anglican chorister. We live for gin. And, well...sing for gin. Seriously. Not only do we gather for gin and tonic after every rehearsal, we even hold a gin tasting for our fundraiser. Gin R Us.

Oh and I remember seeing a humming bird - just gorgeous.
Are they a California speciality or do they occur all over the US?

They are everywhere but California has a number of different species, even in the heart of SF. Lombard St. is a good spot. I always get strange looks when I walk around that area with binocs hanging from my neck.

What a coincidence. we're going on vacation too this week. Except we're going to Mansfield Missouri then to Mt. View Arkansas then up to Hannibal for a river boat ride and do the river tourist thing.
The last time I was in California was 1983. We liked to hang out at Stinson Beach.
While you are in San Fran, if you like seafood/oysters, I highly recommend Hogs Island Oyster Bar....its in the San Fransisco Ferry Building....its only open on Saturdays, though...
We always go direct to the farm for the oysters, though...up by Bodega.
Anyways, enjoy Big Sur, I love that place...I enjoy the Northern redwoods more than the southern ones(less touristy), but the trees are spectacular nonetheless.
