Alas, all vacations must come to an end. As if to remind us that vacation was drawing to an end, Monday in San Francisco was the beginning of a week of foggy weather after a week of sunshine.
We started our morning at Blue Bottle Coffee and thre in an attempt to buy a glass of Kyoto iced coffee made in one of these fancy machines. They were not available, so we settled for other delicious drinks. 
Wanting my guests to end their trip with a bang, I insisted on lunch at Bushi-Tei. Everyone else had the pork cutlet, and I opted for the washyugu sandwich this time. This was remniscent of a buttery skirt steak with plenty of caramelized onions, but the pork cutlet still takes the cake. We had a bottle of sparkling wine and shared a few desserts. A perfect meal, as usual. 
After picking up everyone's luggage, we were back at Blue Bottle to say good-bye. Yes, there was a coffee addict on the trip. He had an espresso and I had the affogato with Humphry Slocombe's Secret Breakfast ice cream: the breakfast is corn flakes and the secret is bourbon. As you can imagine, it's perfect with espresso. And the portion is quite generous--two huge scoops of homemade ice cream and a $2 espresso for under $6.
For having spent about two days in wine country and one and a half days in San Francisco, I think my visitors did quite well! We could have seen more, but they did (translate: ate) a ton of things without feeling rushed. I love hosting; everyone visit more!
