We had a beautiful day exploring the Napa Valley today with other athletes training here. One of the board members at Tigerbar Sports is Dr. Prabhjit Purewal. In addition to finishing med school at the age of 20, he also qualified that year (1980) for the Olympics in the steeplechase for India. India, along with the US and many other countries, boycotted the Olympics that year and he didn't get to compete. But he still has a love for track and field and has been a big supporter of Tigerbar. He mostly practices in Stockton--he has a cancer center there (St. Teresa Cancer Center) and has done a lot of innovative research on cancer and HIV. He also teaches at Stanford. And speaks 11 languages. What an interesting man! Joe said when he shook his hand that he could feel that this was one of the smartest people he had ever met.
So Dr. Prabhjit planned a day of wine tasting for us today---he loves wine country so much that he counts the Napa Valley as one of his homes. He was generous enough to take us around to his favorite places, treat us to lunch, and educate us on fine wines and the area. It was a perfect day--nearly 80 and sunny--and a short hour and a half drive into this amazing valley. We had a long, relaxing day hanging out at one vineyard, then the next, and finally lounging by the pool of another and having a mid-day meal. It was a great way for us to get to know some of the other athletes living here. And the real treat of the whole day was that it was all planned for us---we just went along and enjoyed whatever came next!
Rowan had a rough day---that was the only bummer about the day. She doesn't have a fever, but something is definitely not right. If she doesn't seem a lot better by tomorrow, I'm going to take her to the doctor. I feel like I spent much of the day shielding her from ruining everyone's good time! As a parent you want everyone to see and know the same cute, verbal, active, clever child that you know, right? She was anything but those things today---spent most of it buried in my neck, seldom walking, not saying a word all day unless it was accompanied by a whine. When all these nice people tried to engage her, they just got scowls and cold shoulders. She must not be feeling well, but it still made for a long day for me.
Check out some photos of our day here. The Napa Valley is truly an enchanted place and one I'm sure we will visit again during this year.

11 languages? That's craziness. Sounds like a lovely time...except for Rowan not feeling well. That makes it so hard!
