Howdee all,
Two days ago Geno took us around his town..
One thing that impressed me is the number of trees throughout the city..
this is the Cork Oak..
A Beautiful Golden bridge..do u see how the bridge is being raised for the tall ship? We decided to take a look at the ship that came in..On the way…an Owl ..You see, I do look for birds… The sailing vessel is for educational purposes… This boat below is now a Hotel… Trains and a Train museum in Old Town Sacramento Rust and glass Jeff standing underneath some huge digging tool An Old Hardware store… Really cute art
At the courthouse i enjoyed the different types of Art and sculpture around town I loved the sculptures in front of the Convention Center This was one of my favorites.. Inside the Hyatt…
Gov. Arnolds home when he is in town. And the interesting topiary outside of the hotel The State CapitolArnold was not in We were allowed to go into the Reception area..Jeff took Arnolds card..just in case we needed to call him… Under the Dome…California's Role in the Civil war… I enjoyed the different tiles thru out the Capitol Building The view from the Capitol Building… We then proceeded to walk back to Genos..
Passing where the Original tower Records started..
The large tower is the old and still existing theatre…
There is a wonderful restaurant in this building now..Tower Cafe
Listen to the NPR interview with the owner
or check out the menu
The old tower record shop ..which is still a record store owned by the originator of Tower Records… At Genos..I found art…
Bonsai And More… Yesterday we did some birding….today..
Toured where the Gold Rush Began!
Great post on Sacramento. I love the artwork and the sculptures are all cool looking. Great tour and visit to the State Capitol building. Wonderful photos and memories for you. I would love to visit the wineries. Is somebody the designated driver?
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Was this your first Sacramento tour?
ReplyDeleteI very much enjoyed your trawl around Sacramento. So glad Jeff didn't get scooped up! Loved the sculptures outside the Courthouse. FAB.
ReplyDeleteYou saw a lot in a day. Geno is a great tour guide. Love all the sculptures, and the floor tiles. Hope you don't have a need to call Arnold.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, wineries.
Gosh that looks like lots of fun! I've never been to Sacramento...you've made it look like a lovely place to visit!
ReplyDeleteWow, Geno gave you a great tour of some very interesting places. A guided tour cost a lot, so you got a great deal having Geno as your friend. I relly liked the rust and glass shot!
ReplyDeleteOh I love Sacremento...it is sooo colorful and it has sooo much culcha. Love the sculptures. Loved seeing Geno's place and Jeffie under the huge sculpture. That picture with the pyramid? and glass tower in the background was such a cool contrast. Kind of shocking and lovely at the same time. That was a blast. Thanks for the tour.
ReplyDeleteThe sculptures in front of the convention center are awesome! You got a lot of great shots of Sacramento.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat town! Who knew? :c)
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!!! I was expecting blah..blah...since we never see photos of Sacramento! You found some wonderful spots. I love your favorite art, too!
ReplyDeleteAnd the cork tree! I don't think I've ever seen one.
Nice to see some leaf color on the other coast! Safe travels, as always!
ReplyDeleteGee Dawn, you made my hometown look good. And just think, more to come!!
ReplyDeleteLuv' all the comments from yur' following...
Tomorrow, more art and pub hopping!!
