Day 28 - Healdsburg

New plan: start writing my blog post before I'm too exhausted to keep my eyes open. Lets be honest, this new plan is only for today, since I likely won't have the opportunity to do this on most days. But I do today.

It's currently 2 PM in Healdsburg and so far today, I've hit 3 wineries and a restaurant for lunch. I really should stop buying wine. My credit card hurts. But it's so yummy! I have 3 more wineries to go to this afternoon. The town is super cute and everything is focused around the town square, so I'm walking everywhere today. That's a little dangerous, because I don't need to pace myself as much as when I'm driving between wineries. 

The place I'm staying is called Camelia Inn. It's about 2 blocks away from the town square and is sup cute. They do wine and cheese out by the pool every day at 5:30 and provide a home cooked breakfast every morning. I'm in the smallest room, which is exactly what I need. I have a private bathroom, but it is across the hall. I'm totally ok with that. 

I did get a bit of a later start this morning. I didn't have anything that I was rushing out to do, and I was exhausted, so after breakfast, I totally crawled back into bed for a while. I've been streaming Parenthood on Netflix. So good! Also, Healdsburg has free wireless all over town, so that's nice. Can I move here? I. Mean, I'm not sure how many software development jobs there are or how much theatre there is, but it sure is a great town. I went to Willi's seafood bar for lunch, which was super yummy and now I'm gonna go check out those remaining wineries on my list for today.

...

Fast forward 8 hours. Once again, totally exhausted. After lunch, I hit up 4 more wineries in total. By the last one, I had very little palate for actual evaluations. I'm sure my notes make no sense whatsoever. Came back to the inn for wine and cheese out by the pool (just cheese for me)

I sobered up and then went over to Bravas Tapas bar for dinner. I spent a good hour and a half there nibbling on a bunch of small dishes and talking to the chef and manager. It was fantastic. I highly recommend it.

Anyway, I'm glad that I wrote most of this post earlier today, cause once again, I'm falling asleep.
