As always, mouth is watering and (in my mind) packing a bag for travel! That soup looks incredible. I can picture a late Fall or Winter day, nestled up in the cafe with healing soup, a good book (or sketchbook) reflecting on life. Thank you for a lovely escape.

Wow! This all sounds great! We are planning a trip up the coast later this summer and now I am sure of some stops I definitely want to make!

Great article, Ruth! It makes me want return. We havenā€™t been to Mendocino for about 15 years! That healing soup looks delicious! I will attempt a version of my own!

My Californian husband says don't tell people about Mendo... Oops. Too late.

Mendocino looks perfectly delightful. It reminds me of New England too, except those beautiful blue skies seem brighter than out here in the East. I don't recall the first lady bake-offs. Interesting!
