Day 20: Sebastopol to Redding

After sleeping in (a treat), a good visit, and unsucessful atempt to locate Lu's parking pass (which J found suspicious), we headed out to Sebastopol for brunch.  We toured the town which is not quite a tourist town (no T-shirt stores), but vey much a northern California, wine-country town.  We had a great brunch at the Gypsy Cafe.  After the obligatory family photo, we bid farewell to Sebastopol and family and headed to Redding where C lives.

We traveled along highway 12 which boosts a number of wineries along the way.  We passed through the "Valley of the Moon."  Having passed through the "Valley of the Sun" near Phoenix, I found this interesting.  There are a number of hot springs in the area.

We passed through the town (10,600 pop.) Of Sonoma and happened to see the "Home Ofice" for Mary's Pizza Shack  the right.   After some road construction wew finally reached highway 505 and proceeded to I-5 north.  After a short stop at the Olive Pit in Corning for tasting, we arrived in Redding just as it was getting dark.  We checked into the motel and walked down the street to a great Mexican place called Cicada that C recommended.  Afterr dinner, T took C home and we turned in.

Tomorrow we will be back in Bend.
