Benecia Farmer's Market

Its Thursday Night and we decided to take a stroll at the Benecia Farmer's Market. We found some fresh oysters at $3 for 4 pieces. They were fresh and succulent. The vegetables were fresh. You see the same people you see in every farmer's market around California.

In one corner, I see a a middle-aged man playing the the Eagle's Best of my Love.

We walked along the shore and the you can actually smell the salt in the air. And the seagulls are a lovely view as well.


Benecia is a beautiful city by the water. Founded in 1847, the city was named after General Mariano Vallejo's wife Francesca Benicia. In 1853 it became the Capital of California for 13 months. Today the historic State Capitol is preserved at 115 West G. Street.

Benecia also became an important port when the Pacific Mail Steamship Company was established in the 19th century.

Today Benecia is an ideal town for retirees.The waterfront is breathtaking.The air is fresh.The residents are friendly.
