Things you didn't know existed in Sonoma County

Sonoma County is filled with wonderful places to visit and things to see. But even locals might pass by a few hidden gems if they don't know what to look for.

Did you know that...

...one of the tastiest spots at Bodega Bay is Spud Point. And the specialty? None other than crab cakes. Co-owner Carol Anello makes 80 crab cakes on Saturday and another batch of 80 on Sunday. The long lines reveal how delectable these crab cakes are. (www.spudpointcrab.com)

...Osmosis is the only spot in the Western world that offers Japanese enzyme baths. What is the benefit of a cedar enzyme bath? For starters it boosts circulation and metabolism. It also reduces stress and is deeply relaxing. One word of warning. You may feel like you're in a petri dish with all those enzymes at work. (Osmosis.com, 209 Bohemian Hwy., Freestone.)

...one of the most fascinating galleries in Wine Country is Lisa Kristine on the Sonoma Plaza. The backstory of this photographer is interesting. Roaming the world with her camera, she has run out of food and water and has contracted diseases in third world countries. But this photographer continues to goes to extremes to get amazing shots, and it all began when she was a little girl. Back then she was fascinated when looking through her mother's anthropology books. (www.lisakristine.com)
