One thing leads to another

I laid in bed this morning with the intention to sleep in, find
coffee, maybe a short trip to bodega bay in the a.m. to cross that off
my list. Get back in time to go to a couple of wineries, then actually
sit by the pool for a bit before dinner. After avoiding looking at
the clock and telling myself I'm sleeping in many times, I finally
looked. It was 7:30. To be fair that's 9:30 our time and I get up
5ish so I really did sleep in over 4 hours. I found coffee, went to
bodega bay which was well worth the trip. I ran into maybe 3 people,
saw crabs, tons of starfish and just a beautiful unspoiled coast. The
water was freezing so not a place to dip your toes in too long.
I then drove up to Jenner and drove through the Russian river valley,
still with the intention of going to the sonoma wineries. I vetoed the
bike ride since the wineries I thought I wanted to visit were far
apart and it's 90 degrees today. Vicki I loved your plan, I wish you
could post so everyone could read it. Anyway a stop at korbel for
champagne and a picnic lunch, a stop on the river to eat it, a winery
or two more and I decided the Russian river valley had the wine for
me. Found myself in Healdsburg, Toad Hollow wine is great. Went to the
visitors center to find the coppola cellar and was given tasting
passes to other Alexander valley wineries. The guy at Truett something
or other was very helpful,told me about more places and told me Shana
Morrison, daughter of van Morrison was giving a free concert in the
Healdsburg square tonight. So here I sit, listening to her first song
and telling all that sometimes just letting the road lead you is a
good thing. More from the actual city of San Fran tomorrow.
