sonoma, i'm mission you already

fineliner pen, watercolour; yesterday at the mission san francisco de solano, in sonoma. I love sonoma. It's a really pretty town, and I wish we lived there. The first time I came to the US we housesat for a couple of my future wife's friends there, and I drank local wine and ate the lcoal cheese for the first time. It'll never leave me. This is the mission, the lats of the California missions to be built, back in the age of Spaniards and Natives and kings and 'discovery', hah. Before the English-speakers. Before the gold. Sonoma is where the California Republic started, that whole thing with the bear, before it became a State. It's good to see a little of California's history before the US came along. Before the strip malls.
