Today I was driving through Sonoma (and photographing some interesting sights of course) when I saw this Anti War Demonstration. Thats nothing unusual. I have seen many of those in Monterey, San Francisco and a lot of other places.

This time however, most of the drivers passing by would honk their horns in agreement with the peace demonstrators. Usually, about 30% of people driving by would react. I was somewhat amazed by the concert of cars.

The demonstrators stood in front of the town hall (in the picture) to make sure they get heard.

Sonoma is a beautiful town. Unfortunately tomorrow bad weather is going to roll in. Hopefully it won't completely spoil our easter trip.

We are staying in Santa Rosa. I should have booked a hotel in Sonoma, since I did like it much better then Santa Rosa.

However there is one thing that both cities have in common and thats good food. Tonight I had roasted duck in balsamic reduction (thats a fancy name for sauce) and it was really excellent. I am usually more a fan of rustic food, but the duck was good.

Otherwise Santa Rosa doesn't have much to offer (at least at first glance, I will verify this tomorrow).
