Bodega Bay. We visited long-time friends, gathered from around the country. Wednesday and Thursday this week … just day trips. It’s an hour and three-quarters drive each way from our home in Ukiah. There was coastal fog, and much lower temperatures than inland. I do like Sonoma County (Bodega Bay is on the Sonoma County coast). Given different life circumstances I’d love to live there. But, it’s the Ukiah BrownHouse for us. Not so long a drive into Sonoma County, for better shopping, bookstores, restaurants, wine, beer, and more. I keep thinking there must be some good way to be Sonoma County-ish even while living an hour or more north.
