We spent the weekend in Becky's hometown (Monte Rio) in Sonoma county. She lives in a beautiful river community surrounded by giant trees -its gorgeous! On Saturday morning we ate at her grandmother's house, where I also got my first taste of a fig straight off the bush (delicious). After that we went to the vintage shop that her friend Ari's family owns, and tried on as many silly things as possible. In the evening we went up to the top of a hill surrounded by trees to the humble home of her friend Sam, where a "Barefoot Ball" was happening. In this secluded and beautiful residence, strings of lights hanging from trees illuminated a circled area framed by tables of delicious food, desserts, sangria and wine. Within this circle many beautiful friends came together dressed in suits, tuxedos, and fancy gowns -but barefoot, of course- and ate, danced, and shared conversations around the fire. (Becky took this picture of Ari and another guy jamming on their accordians). When it was time to call it a night we slept in sleeping bags under the open sky of bright moon and stars, and woke to the sun rising over the valley below. I loved every bit of it! I snapped a couple pictures the next morning as people were sitting around the fire and eating breakfast, but they don't do it much justice.
