Inn at Mendocino - Mendocino, CA

 

View from our sun deck

Had a massive breakfast just around the corner from the hotel.  It was a balmy 56, so they had all the doors and windows open!  We had a quick flight and arrived in Santa Rosa, CA around 2:00 where it was a mere 105!  It was a 2 hour drive to Mendocino.  I got a text from the hotel we were staying at reminding us that check-in and a complimentary wine hour starting at 4:00.  Using deductive reasoning and a degree in mathematics, we decide to forego lunch in the heat and head directly for the coast.  

The road was lovely, climbing over golden hills, past dozens of vineyards, through magestic redwood forests to reach our little hideaway in Mendocino.  Our wine on the patio was lovely although it was back in the 50´s again!  Dinner was fun.  The Mendocino Cafe had a distinctly Asian flair.  I had a “Healthy Bowl” which only meant that it had kale in it!  

Tomorrow we will do some exploring, and possibly buy a warmer sweatshirt.
