Merrrrry Christmas 2006

<-- near Vacaville
Capitol park -->


We went to Sacramento. Everyone was asking why, but they always say that. We started at Fairfield, a pretty little town, and cycled to Winters first. Leafless trees sat close to some of the road, and opened out into freshly ploughed farmlands. The road was quiet and beautiful, getting busy on the approach to Davis and through to Sacramento, partly running right next to the stinking 3 lane highway 80.


<-- Discovery Park, Sacramento
Amtrak Capitol Corridor is a great train line -->

Davis was a pleasure being the only platinum graded friendly town in the whole US. Sacramento has an excellent rail museum, and very pretty suburbs, but downtown is scarred by the Interstate-5 which unfortunately belches stink and much noise into most of downtown and old town.
