We drove up to Sonoma and checked in at the El Pueblo Inn. After a short nap we strolled the downtown area. For dinner, we ate at LaSalette. We started out with an appetizer plate of smoked duck, blood sausage & Spanish ham. For entrees, the birthday gurl had paella and I had flank steak.

Sandy’s Birthday
This year we decided to take some time off to celebrate Sandy’s Birthday. It started out at Bip’s for breakfast where Sandy got the massive princess meal. Next we drove up to Sonoma. More on that later…

SFO Panorama
When I went to the airport to pick up Sandy I ran up to the top floor of the parking garage to shoot this pano. I got in trouble for being late, but panos are important.

Burger
Had a slow day today, so I ventured into downtown Alameda and had lunch at the Burger Meister on central next to the theater. The burger was huge and a bit messy, but it was delicious. I’m still belching up the taste of those garlic fries though.
