Monday we left Arcata and drove down toward the Bay Area. We saw some smoky skies at times, but didn’t feel it where we were. We stopped for the night in Windsor, an almost too cute town that feels a bit like a movie lot marked "small town". But Linda had fond memories of the "Ultimate Grilled Cheese" sandwich at KC's American Kitchen there so that influenced our decision. It involves several cheeses, bacon, and sour dough bread

Tuesday we drove the last hour or so to reach our AirBnB house in North Oakland. You do your research and sometimes you get a gem; sometimes not. This one turned out to be fabulous. Quiet street, comfy beds and beautifully decorated.
It has a front porch for morning coffee and watching the neighborhood activity
And a back deck for evening wine and cheese perfect for these gals who love to lounge
Situated at the bottom of the Rockridge neighborhood that straddles the Berkeley/Oakland border and has lots of cafes, restaurants, and shops (most of which seem to have survived the pandemic).
We might have to send for the dog and stay.
