This morning I woke up around 6:00am, walked through some vineyards until I found a slight rise in the land, and then turned to the east to watch the sun rise over the hills of the Napa Valley. Serene, beautiful, peaceful. I spent the morning talking to a few of my cottage-mates, and now I’m sitting in a comfy chair, packed and ready to leave this house and move on to our next place. I have an hour to kill before we leave. Today’s post will be short and sweet, my own little break from ItStartsWith.Us writing and working on this trip.
Yesterday we went to a couple of wineries, one of which was fantastic: Robert Mondavi. I was really, really impressed with the beauty of both the land and the structures. I’m not a wine guy, but I gotta say, they did an amazing job with this place. Their wine cellar was probably the coolest thing I’ve seen on this trip so far.
I feel privileged that I’m able to be here right now, talking to intelligent, inspiring people about big ideas. But much more than that, I’m happy to be here making new friends and hanging out with old ones. It’s been a long time since I’ve taken a break of any kind, and I’m enjoying this one.
And it’s all thanks to Jim Knight. Love this guy.
Thanks, bro.
