Glad to have the opportunity to make it to California, the second time over, I was looking forward to explore more places around San Jose. And I have not been disappointed, not one bit. During winter last year, it was biting cold, and my travels had to be restricted to a drive to Monterey, the Big Basin Redwoods, Mystery Spot and a visit to the beautiful lake at Tahoe, the last one courtesy my cousin. That there is much more to places around San Jose, California was never in doubt, with Yosemite, Napa Valley still uncovered.
