MISCELLANEOUS:
Starbucks is open 7 days a week. Benicia was once the early California State Capital. The State Capitol Building is a jewel. It is well worth visiting. Early on, before bridges, the railroad ended in Benicia at the Carquinez Strait. The trains were ferried by boat across the Carquinez Strait so they could continue on their way. The railroad depot is still standing. Pony Express riders continued on to Benicia if they missed the riverboat in Sacramento. The mail must go through. The town of Benicia is full of early California historic buildings, wonderful restaurants and creative shopping. The route goes past the first capitol building of California, through historic downtown Benicia with its many shops, around the marina and on part of the Bay Area Trail along the Carquinez Straits.
