Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky. Tagore

Sacramento to Salinas and Back



Just past Martinez where we waited....aftermath of an Amtrak Capitol Corridor commuter train encounter with a person..in Amtrak speak, they are called "trespassers".  





Mt. Tamalpias in Marin County in background



 A brief view of San Francisco

 Emeryville

 Lengthy wait here just before Oakland, Jack London Station
Adding cars and checking poorly performing engine



 Another stop south of Oakland
more engine issues
chug, chug and off we go


 Finally in San Jose
picking up more victims for the slow train

 San Jose airport is very near downtown.
I've seen planes fly by my window from a hotel room.


Carmel-by-the-Sea 
flowers, churches and more























 Headed back to Sacramento at sunset
