Every year my brother-in-law and niece come visit in the summer (from Sacramento) to take a motorcycle ride with my husband and I. They love escaping the hot Sacramento weather and riding to the coast. Today we rode to the Russian River Area through Sebastopol, Guerneville, Monte Rio and stopped at one of our favorite coffee/tea stops in Duncans Mills (about 5 miles from the coast). We love sitting on the back deck of the "Gold Coast Coffee & Bakery." There is a butterfly garden, hummingbirds, a fountain, Willa the stray cat and great coffee, tea and daily baked goods.
We continued on down the coast stopping at a beach. It was quite windy and the waves were huge and the water sparkling! We continued to Bodega Bay to have a late lunch at the "Island Style Deli." It was our first time there. It is a small shack-like locale with FUN island decor and great food. They all had Fish & Chips and I had the most A-mazing Fish Tacos! Perfectly cooked cod with shredded lettuce, cheese, scallions and a wonderful sauce on a moist soft taco. I asked the server about the sauce and she said they make it there with passion fruit and chili sauce. It is hot and sweet and a wonderful addition to the tacos. She said if you bring a jar and let them know ahead of time they will fill your jar with the special sauce. They looked so tasty and yummy that I forgot to take a picture of them before I ate them! oops! The whole ride home I was thinking about when I would go back to have the Fish Tacos again! I lovelovelove them!
Every year we enjoy our family ride escaping the heat and stopping at new restaurants and beaches and also stopping at some of our favorite haunts! Riding with Dave, Caitlyn and Robert always raises my FUNtelligence Quotient!
Sounds like an awesome time!
