Unstressed, expanded non-nuclear families will be provided. They will 
rotate down to the Monterey Peninsula, fishing in the morning, going 
to the David Packard Memorial Monterey Bay Aquarium in the afternoon, 
picking strawberries before dusk, and scuba diving in the evening.

Afterwards they will repair to their living quarters and cook like 
Alice Waters:

	Hamachi tartare with shaved vegetables and truffle vinaigrette

	Adriatic-style fish soup

	Larson Ranch pork loin with mustard and rosemary;

	White beans with artichokes and chanterelles

	White wine poached pear with sabayon
