About 12 of us visited the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art in the city of Sonoma to check out the work of Clayton Bailey and Tony Natsoulas. It is a small museum, but I think many of us were eager to explore again after two years of COVID isolation. This is the first trip I led and I forgot to take a group photo in the gallery. I was so happy Linda Loveland Reid offered to drive carpool — I was nervous and really appreciated the company and the ride. Linda made the cool flyer below.

We received many suggestions for lunch places and selected Hopmonk tavern, recommended by the gallery, because it is just down the street at 691 Broadway and can handle big groups. Here are a few of the nine or so who were there.

Other recommendations were The Red Grape 529 First St. West, Sunflower Cafe, El Dorado Kitchen, Sonoma Grill (fish), Oso (closed Wednesday, the day of our visit).
