In the afternoon, Kyle's assistant, Ayuchi came to pick us up and we headed to Sonoma. We were going to spend two nights there. Because Kyle's restaurant & hotel are still under construction, he arranged a different special place for us to stay. It was his friend's vacation house and super gorgeous with a private pool, both outdoor and indoor BBQ space, etc.
