A Weekend With the Jones'

So on the Friday night I rushed home from work, quickly got packed and was out the door again and running for the train. I was catching the amtrak train to Sacramento, but first I had to catch the train into downtown and get to the amtrak station. This turned about to be hassle free and I had ample amounts of time.

The train itself took the eastern shore of the bay area up and around to Sacramento. So we passed Oakland (didn't look too scary), Berkeley, and the like on the way to Sacramento. The coastline was pretty in some places, and in others not so pretty. When two kids from Oakland sat next to me I had some nice conversations about sport and why I shouldn't visit Oakland hehe..

Once out of the bay area it was all flat agricultural land, as the central valley where Sacramento resides has quite a bit of agriculture. It took about three hours to get to Sacramento, and once I arrived Mr Jones picked me up.


The Jones' had offered to take me for the weekend. They live on a ranch about an hours drive from Sacramento, which was cool, as I got to spend time with goats, horses, dogs, cats and a baby. For the weekend they planned for me a Redwood forest trip and some horse riding..
