Residence Inn By Marriott Sacramento At Capitol Park

A lovely day -- with an easy drive out to Sacramento, a good day visiting Sac State (which is a very pretty campus, especially this time of year, with the leaves changing), then an easy drive home. Definitely a long day, and I was exhausted by the end of it, but not a bad one at all.<br>

... got one too since it was one of those self wash things with a pressure gun (FUN) we also gave her another oil change but this was later on in Yuba ( the dude there was really nice, he complemented both our lack of direction and the paint job on Betsy)<br>

... given to me I didn't find it. Jess was actually better at it than me, but that will change, I'm going to become a pro. Thanks Steve....<br><br>We were kind of spoiled for our last days on the road, we weren't to used to the luxury of "mom's" cooking, and never ending supply of beer. It helped our motivation to start heading home, a little taste of normalcy.<br><br>Till home,<br><br>Nic and Jess<br> <br>

What a great weekend I was able to spend with Ken and Terry plus Nessa and Vicky (the dogs). A lot was had at the Apple Festival in Apple Hill; eating a drinking everything apple along with a great conversation on "Choice". Sunday was spent in ...

... well! We met up with her and spent the day exploring the Old Town Sacramento. <br><br>It's a great historic area with lots of fun stores and things to do. We stopped by one of those places where they dress you up in the old western clothes to take your picture - we had such a blast! We also enjoyed a great lunch at a Mexican restaurant in town!<br>

... from what I understand, all mature male and female capuchins mate with one another in a group, fairly equally. Yet much more often then not, the babies of the group are descended from the alpha male, even though the mom monkey may have mated just as much, if not more, with other, lower ranking males in the group...<br> <br> while it may not sound too glamorous, much of what we will be doing ...

... Compared to gorgeous Hvar, glamorous and self-consciously hip, Vis seems totally unspoiled by tourism. We walked to the usual rocky beach, occupied by what seemed like mostly local older people and few, if any, young international hipsters. Nudity is not uncommon here. Even at beaches not known to be "nude beaches," you will see an occasional topless female, usually an older woman. There was music playing, a distant, exotic beat, in the ...

Day 50 I decided last night that I would go to both World Peace Prayer (or Kosen-rufu Gongyo) services. The youth that I met from last night would be at both and I felt the more time I could hang with them, the better. There was one at 10am and another at 1pm. Diana had already told me that she would only be going to the 1pm. She doesn't drive so I volunteered to take her to the Sacramento Community Center at one. It's like a 10 minute drive. But I was also going to go ...

The day we left Deano, it was hot, hot, hot outside. We departed around six in the morning so we'd have enough time to get to Sacramento to visit Deano's mom and start the drive down to LA. I can't remember what time we got there, but I remember my mother raving about how we made record time to Sharon. We had a lot of trouble finding her house, but ...

... his little **** dogs. We watched him walk straight up to the seal, and his little dogs were scared, but he didn't keep walking. We kept looking back every few steps and witnessed he and his dogs tormenting the poor animal which actually looked pretty sick. He would see how close he and his little **** dogs could get before the poor animal lunged at them. After five minutes or so Raedie and I got angry and walked over to tell him off. He saw us walking toward him and ...
