Sacramento
Bob and Ray in Sacramento
Lying about 90 miles northeast of San Francisco, Sacramento has around 400,000 folks living within the city limits, but there's about 1.5 million in the four county metropolitan area.
California State capitol building
Sacramento is the capital city of California.  It was founded in 1849 and is the oldest incorporated city in California.

The State Capitol has been the home of the California Legislature since 1869.  The 40 acre grounds are part of the California State Park system.

Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament

(Like how we captured the moon, too?)

Awesome postmodern building.

Bob and Ray with Snickers, the alert dog

Snickers is a Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) dog.  One of the students was hearing impaired.  Snickers helps out by alerting her mistress to various sounds including telephones, alarm clocks and smoke alarms.

Snickers

Snickers (at the time) is/was the official mascot of the California Department of Community Services and Development.  She is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, a type of sheepdog.

 

Don't forget to check out our new dining out section - a Sacramento restaurant is included.

We'll be heading back to Sacramento later this month and hope to grab some photos of Old Sacramento and maybe even a better shot of the luggage sculpture at the airport.

The midi file you're hearing is the California State song.
