We ventured out this morning to continue our mission to see as much of Sacramento as we could in a short visit. We returned to the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacramento so that we could really view it without interrupting a mass. I don't think my pictures do it justice though as the lights were off but it is a very impressive church.
Views of the Cathedral
 |
| the dome is almost as impressive as the Capitols' |
 |
| St. Patrick - with an early wish for a Happy St. Patrick's Day! and a remembrance of the St. Patrick's in Wheatville |
Views of Old Sacramento
From the cathedral we walked to Old Sacramento. This is the historic area of the town but it is more businesses housed in the old buildings rather than museums like Old Town San Diego was. We had a great afternoon anyway though.
 |
| we walked through this tunnel which is under the freeway to get to old Sac |
 |
| Statue of the Pony Express |
 |
| The juxtaposition of the old and the new |
 |
| Great chandelier that they had in the Tavern |
 |
| Gotta love the Buffalo |
 |
| Old Fire Department |
 |
| The grandkids would go crazy in this candy store |
 |
| The Old School House |
 |
| The old school marm |
 |
 |
| Grandpa Ron acting like a hobo or maybe looking for one on the rail road for Brayden |
Other views of Sacramento
 |
| the light rail. The y had the same in San Diego |
 |
| winded through this area to find the tunnel to old sac |
 |
| what wonderful symbolism .... |
 |
| the fox and the goose tavern. Sacramento has many neighborhood eateries rather than having to drive to find someplace to eat or imbibe |
 |
| yeah we're about 2 month behind weather wise but come to think of it we are not even in the same playing field |
