we stopped at the 21rst and last mission built. this one in Sonoma. it’s in a square with shops all around it. a much different setting. people were going to the shops, not of the mission.
san Francisco solano
all the mission have the same roof. made with twigs.
the church isn’t used anymore
and there’s your history lesson for today.
last night we got to eureka, almost to the California – Oregon border. we went over to samoa island where the somoa cookhouse is located. on our 2010 trip we ate there and enjoyed the family style dinners they serve. it’s one of the cookhouse’s they used to feed all the loggers, 3 meals a day, 7 days a week.
one small room, they have at lest five others
the cook was getting ready to cook for a party of 30 off a tour bus
soup, salad, bread, fried chicken, pork steak, red potatoes, peas, and desert. we didn’t eat it all chris
one of the pictures on the wall
they let us spend the night in the parking lot. that paid for our meal.
where to next?
stay tuned to find out
Once in awhile-now and again-this is us 
Where do you hear of these things for Pete’s sake? You find the greatest un-famous places ever touched by tourists. I gotta tip my hat to you.
Love the history – thanks, Sharon
aaa, research, articles in the newspaper, visitor centers, books, and our gps program helps us a lot. it’s my job.
I’m glad you like the history Sharon, I try not to bore you too much.
That looks like good food to me. One more time I wish i was there and am still glad that I am not.
That cookhouse seems like one of those places Huell Howser would’ve visited. Love it. And – love the hat, Dad. 🙂
Cool hat, Dad. That food looks like a very Caucasian, all-American kind of meal! You think they’ve ever had Pho?
we all have different ways of having fun ray.
I think he did tracy. that’s dad’s breaking bad hat.
