Drive to the Coast

“It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.” – Ferris Bueller talking about a Ferrari in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Something San Jose has a lot more of these days is exotic sports cars. You can even rent them. If you have a chance to cruise around with a friend in a Ferrari, I highly recommend it. There are lots of types of experiences in this world. I like many of them and sometimes squishing them together. So, for example: start in San Jose, take an adventure to the coast, a cup of coffee, some beautiful nature, great conversation with a friend, and wrap up the curvy road sways with the art- visual/tactile/mechanical/aural- of a Ferrari. That’s a pretty fantastic day’s experience.

These roads are beautiful in any vehicle, really.

Could a coffee shop counter be any more happy?

Japantown Murals

This service station is a perfect slice of Japantown in San Jose; history meets today, still running and valuable, with bits from all times in between, in a blend rare and wonderful to find.

The Alameda Murals

So many murals down one alleyway off of The Alameda. This was a happy find and I spent a lot of time enjoying these. At the end of the alley and parking lots, was a wonderful smell or flowers. There were roses and jasmine in the vicinity. To smell the roses I ended up next to this fence. I like this fence, I don’t know why I liked it so, but I think it was the aged wood and older San Jose home with the extra detail and color, and of course, the smell of roses all around it.
