Here in Sebastopol

Monday, Sept 18th

Miss P. and I are here in Sebastopol for an ACTC cycling adventure hosted by club members who moved to PennGrove after retiring last year.  How cool is that for them to organize this trip!   

The rest of the gang will join us tomorrow here at the Sebastopol Inn.  The Boyfriend isn't coming along because he's in Australia.

What to do?  Explore the town!  This is Coffee Catz where I had great coffee and a bran muffin each morning during our trip.  Lovely place. The local ice cream place Screamin' Mimi's also served a super Americano. 

We walked everywhere for hours. We stopped in Copperfield's Bookstore.  We found the local community market at the developing Barlow. They have purple potatoes, my favorite!

What can I say.  I bought some boots made in Portugal at Sole Desire.  Exploring Sebastopol was fun.  We learned that Sebastopol was known as the  “Gravenstein Apple Capital of the World."  Learn more from the Western Sonoma County Historical Society.  We also took a stroll at the Laguna de Santa Rosa Preserve but we didn't see much; we think we weren't on the right trail.  Still, we learned about its history. 

Loving the artwork here.  More about that in next post.  Can't wait til tomorrow when we meet up with everyone and start biking!
