As you know, we are on our way to Napa, and will be finishing the drive this morning after breakfast with Alex, Claire and Theo. It is just a little over an hour away. We left Palm Springs and the temperature was a scorching 121 as we drove out of town. It stayed pretty warm for most of the drive, but was comparatively cooler when we got to Santa Barbara. We met Lynne at her home, which was beautiful, even while under renovation. I could feel her pain, having lived through a couple of those! We went to the Shoreline Cafe at the beach, and all had the fish tacos. They were amazing. The we got back in the car and headed to Santa Maria where our hotel was. The hotel served our purpose very well. Our window looked out onto the runway for a small airport. Lovely view of three small planes parked outside.
We got up and were on the road by 9, and went to the drive-thru Starbucks, and back on the highway. Lovely drive, but we weren’t really sightseeing, just enjoying the drive. When we were approaching San Francisco, we saw the sun start fading away, and it was much cooler. We checked into our fine, but utilitarian hotel across the street from the zoo, and blocks from the beach. Grabbed a bit for lunch, and called Alex, Claire and Theo, and they were over a little while later. Had a nice visit, and then went out for a drink and bite at the Beach Chalet.
Well, that is enough for now, will tell you all about the movers and more details when we,get to Napa and I have a proper computer. Adventure awaits!
