| The perfect Danish! |
We woke early the next day and stopped in at Nora's Bakery around the corner for coffee, just-out-of-the-oven croissants and picture-perfect danishes. The four of us then drove to the bay area, across the Golden Gate Bridge and stopped at three different lookouts to enjoy the view - breathtaking!

We then drove to Muir Woods and went for a long hike through groves of colossal Redwoods and other spring flowers including masses of Trilliums (memories of Ontario).

We went along a trail by the river on the way back and then hopped in the car and headed to the Napa Valley. We had a fantastic lunch at the Culinary Institute of America (the "other" C.I.A.) which included some tasting glasses of wine. When in Rome...! I had grilled sardines on fingerling potatoes on a bed of frisee for a starter then roast pork on polenta - heaven!

| Mmmmm! |
We visited two other wineries - Beringer and Franciscan Estates and had more wine tastings - we even bought a bottle of 2010 Red Moscato to bring home. We headed back to San Francisco and walked around the downtown core again, stopping for Sushi at Sushi Rocks for Bento-style dinners. It was then a quick hop on the BART and back to Daly City for more R and R.
