I stuck this ....... ermmm nevermind ;-)
ANYWAY! A part of my trip to Oceanside, California was a visit to the wine country of Temecula! There are around sixty wineries tucked into the beautiful hills and I was determined to try most of them!
Needless to say I tried my best but unfortunately I learned something about myself that I can honestly say I never knew.
I'm allergic to grape vines!
It started out wonderful. Beautiful country, cool breezes, scenic camera shots. The wine was unbelievable goes without saying. I took a tour that I found online that offered lunch, a visit to about 8 wineries along with included tastings. Awesome right?
Wrong.
About the third winery in, I noticed that my eyes began to feel 'puffy'. I didn't think much of it. I continued on enjoying myself. As time went on, I began to feel more and more drug out. Couldn't understand what the hell was going on! By the sixth winery I felt like I got hit by a Mack truck! Could barely see, nose running down my face and endless sneezing.
I was hating life!
Needless to say, I got through it the best I could. Not many pics as I couldn't see but as I suspected, as soon as I got out of Temecula valley, I slowly started to clear up. Unbelievable. By the next morning I was completely normal. I was pretty bummed.
But hell, I tried to look on the bright side. Good thing I'm not allergic to malt, hops and barley! I'd REALLY be pissed off!
Beach shots coming! For some reason, I'm procrastinating about getting these images edited uuugghhh!
Peace,

I'm allergic to a lot of things, but I'm pretty sure I'm not allergic to grape vines. Okay, well, I can't actually say for sure, but I'm almost positive of it. At least you're able to look on the bright side! ;)
