Today Steve and I traveled up more of Highway 1 from Bodega Bay to Mendocino with a side trip to Sebastopol and Bodega. We were attracted to Sebastopol because it is known for being the southern most Russian outpost in North America during the 1800's. What we found there was a wonderful farmer's market. The fruits and vegetables look more sculpted than grown. And the varieties of each fruit and vegetable! They didn't just sell peaches but they had sun crest and Arctic gems and another variety. There must have been a dozen different varieties of tomatoes. The vendors were also selling huge bunches of herbs for two dollars. On the way back to the coast we went through Bodega which is famous for being one of the locations used in Alfred Hitchcock's film "The Birds". Here is a picture of the school house used in the film. It is now occupied as a house with a gift store on the bottom floor. Guess what the main theme in the gift store is?
