Drove up to Napa valley early early in the morning today to take a look at a sailplane that is for sale. I left at 6a in San Jose and arrived north of Napa 8:35p. We rigged, checked and packed up the sailplane, only for me to leve at 12:30 again. On the way back lots of good memories arose from previous Napa Valley trips. I saw the Darious Winery, the Coulinary Institute, and even the hotel where my parents and I have stayed about a decade ago.
Still looks just like ten years ago. Amazing. On the way back I was passed by a DB-9S – the driver moved very aggressively in traffic. Nevertheless the sound of that car is AWESOME! Sure enough I passed him 5 miles later, when he was sitting on the shoulder pulled over by a cop. 🙂

Later on the way back I stopped at Vik’s in Berkeley for Indian food. Pictures attached. Vik’s has slightly moved from the location I remember from a couple of years ago. The venue is huge now and I had to wait in line for a bit. The food was as always: Excellent! I had a Dahi Pakara Puri and a meat dish. Yummy!
