I'm here in San Ramon visiting my long-time friend who I've known since 8th grade. We took a day trip to Calistoga for some yummy food, a mud bath (my first) lounging by the mineral pools.
Our appointment for mud baths weren't until after lunch so we arrived early enough so that we could find a place to eat. We ended up at Sam's Social Club Calistoga. I had an Albacore Tuna Conserva Sandwich (without the bread as they didn't have any gluten free options) and a salad.
It was time for our mud bath at Indian Springs Resort. Sorry no photos. But let me tell you it was divine!
The Napa Valley is known for their therapeutic and rejuvenating mud baths. The native Wappo Indians invented the concept, mixing the high volcanic ash soil with warm, mineral waters that bubbled up in natural springs.

After our mud bath, we hung out by the mineral pools. I forgot my book in the car so Le-Thu told me to color in her coloring book. Wait, what?! Adults color?! This is the first I've heard of this. My friend explained that it is quite the rage now -- it's great to destress.
I loved coloring as a kid and I was hooked, so I had to finish.

LeThu could see that I really enjoyed coloring, so she let me take the book home. Yay!
