We tried to find someplace to eat for breakfast close to Chablis Inn but found nothing worthwhile nearby so we returned to Oxbow Public Market and ate at C CASA. Afterwards we walked historic downtown Napa along Riverfront until Napa Mill. Drove back to the hotel. Checked out of Chablis Inn. Drove back to San Francisco. On our way out of town we passed two bed-and-breakfasts that looked nice from the street: Beazley House and The Inn on First. The GPS routed us over the Bay Bridge, and Patrick did not like this route. He thought it had too many streetlights and more traffic. Lunch at Citrus Club on Haight Street: we shared fresh spring rolls with shrimp and chow mein noodles with vegetables and tofu. I tried on some clothes at American Apparel but the cut was not right, and I didn't buy anything. Grocery shopping at Whole Foods nearby. As before, parking was not much of a problem. A minute of waiting for a space to open in their lot. Home. Unpacked groceries and overnight bags. I did some vacuuming and paid bills. Our rent increases by $50 starting next month. I made hotel reservations for my forthcoming trip to Cologne. Edited and uploaded some photos to Flickr. Dinner at home with Patrick: steamed salmon with vegetables wrapped in cedar, leftover roasted fingerling potatoes, side salad with organic ranch dressing. Dessert: 2 girl scout thin mint cookies. Did some work on tax filings: prepared my explanatory notes. Cold almost all gone, still some congestion in the chest.
