Eating for "three"
The next morning we woke up early and drove up to San Francisco. We rented bikes and biked across the Golden Gate Bridge over to Sausalito (8 miles). It was quite chilly and cold thruout the entire ride.
Stopping at a vista point to take some photos

My Floyd... ummh, I mean Lance pose...
We were short on time so we decided to take the Ferry back to SF. Here we are waiting behind 180 Japanese tourists on the same ferry.
Once we returned the bikes (1 pm) we were headed to Napa. Apparently we under-estimated the amount of time it would take and we didn't get there until 3pm. Why were we headed to Napa? For the wine? Ummm.. no.. for the Mud Bath and Body Wrap of course!!!
It was definately an experience like no other. It was genuine 100% mud. It was thick and guey and warm at the bottom. It was like being trapped in quicksand. It was quite relaxing as I think my pores exfoliated... (I don't even know what that means!)
Here we are for our "body-wraps". Basically you are wrapped in a warm blanket with cold towels place on your forehead and nect and you go to sleep for 20 mins listening to elevator music.
By the time we left the facilities it was 5 pm and all the wineries had closed for the day. Apparently this is discourage reckless drinking in the evening
We then drove to Sacramento (not sure which direction we went. we had a portable gps that we followed since i'm so good with maps and directions...) to visit Jeanette's friends (Heather and Darren) from residency. We had a nice cooked home dinner and the best appetizers. (Portabello mushrooms in basalmic vinegar and butter server on lightly toasted bread. I think I can make this!)
Here's a picture of Jeanette and their daughter Lily!
We didn't get back to our hotel in Rancho Cordova until 11 pm. The next morning we got up at 6 AM and ran an easy 8 miles on one of the trails that Jeanette use to run while she was in residency.
For some reason I had a craving for crepes and we met up with her friend Susane from residency.
It was an awesome trip and we did so much in two days! Too bad we had to fly back down so soon... Here are the entire set to photos from the trip
