California Dreamin'

California Dreaming - reprise

I spent a week in San Jose at the end of July and mostly just enjoyed the weather (75 degrees, dry, and sunny). But I did do a little sight seeing and star gazing....

The sun's going down and the moon's coming up

Setting up in Fremont Park for star gazing

Scot took this with the digital camera through the telescope

I tried a local park, Kelley Park, which combines the Historic Park, the Happy Hollow Zoo, and the Japanese Garden which claims to have "quaint bridges and exotic koi". The price to park was $4 (!) and I wasn't about to pay entrance fees, so I visited the Japanese Garden.

There were some interesting trees like this fuzzy one

Katie and I went out one day to the Peralte Adobe and Fallon House in downtown San Jose. Although built almost a hundred years apart, they were contemporary at the end of the 19th century and were home to two of San Jose's mayors.
