Napa 2 with Saint Helena

Rain basically ended except for a bit on the way over to breakfast in St. Helena.

Good story last night from server about memory of 37 steaks at previous steak restaurant in San Francisco He said much easier to work here as the menu is much easier to remember.

Cool old building in downtown St. Helena

QB had a very bad night from lack of breathing. It appears the room had feathered pillows, and maybe the duvet as well. Extreme disappointment. They explained however, that the pillows were not down as their supplier said not. Impossible to prove one way or the other without slashing a pillow. They replaced all the items in the room as we asked him the service was outstanding.

Heated floors fixed , maintenance Wi-Fi not fixed.

Breakfast at the Model Bakery, a place that QB remembers from the previous visit, and very famous. This one was allegedly remodeled, but it doesn’t look that way very much.

Remodeled (?) Model Bakery

Breakfast

Found another photographed nest on fine quality, wasabi type paper. Will end up in Rhode Island next to the other.

Gas station here in Saint Helena, and one in Yountville serve food, and apparently very good food according to the locals

Napa Valley Olive Oil Company – stocked up and got a few oranges from their tree.

Another gas station with food and wine had a good espresso bar. Very popular with locals and tourists.

Long hot tub and interesting conversation with a high end contractor.

Walked to Bistro Jeanty for awaited dinner

House smoked trout
Frites and cassoulet.
