A Capital time

The last two days we spent at Tom's house in Sacramento, CA.
I've known Tom for about 3 years now, he used to be Derrick's neighbour in Sac and we hit it off well. Two years ago he was traveling Europe and Marja and me spent some pleasant evenings with him in Amsterdam.
The first day we arrived in the evening, travelling from San Francisco to Sacramento would normally take about 2 hours but we got into very heavy traffic everywhere we could so we drove it in about 4.5 hours. We went out for some drinks and burgers in the bars around Tom's house.

Yesterday we explored Old Town Sacramento. The city gets put down by most everyone, not least by those currently inhibiting it, but it really is a nice city to visit. The Old Town is a nice area where a few blocks still look like they would have in the 1900s, with some interesting shops and services.
Just strolling around the area was very pleasant, Sacramento is a bit too hot this time of year but there was plenty of shade in the covered boardwalks there.
We finished the day with a quiet evening at home, with some movies and drinks.

Our flight back will be in 3 days in the wee hours already so today we'll set off to slowly make our way back to Las Vegas.
