Vacation day 3 of 3. Ran in place while channel surfing cable television. Packed. Breakfast at Gaige House + Ryokan: pancakes, oatmeal with fixins, chocolate croissant, fritatta slices, toast with fixins, fresh fruit, orange juice for Patrick, water for me, coffee for both. On both days of our stay the breakfast was delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully arranged. Afterwards we visited the fire trough for a few minutes. Checked out. Drove home to San Francisco, stopping for gas and a car wash at Loop at 19th and Lincoln. There was a very long line at the car wash and a driver ahead of us who had left his car permitted another driver to cut in to the long line. And somewhere along the way we lost our receipt with the car wash code so we had to pay for it again. Patrick returned the rental car. I unpacked and snacked on the remaining half of a chocolate-cherry muffin from Basque. Patrick received a Good Eggs delivery while I napped. For dinner I prepared Good Eggs barley salad with spiced chickpeas, beets and feta. The meal is delicious, though Patrick warned me that the chickpeas never crisp for him like the instructions say they should in recipes like these. After dinner I rewatched part of Beyonce's Homecoming on Netflix instant watch.
