Hiked Mission Peaks in Milpitias with Dale (Lexington) & Dexter (Cebu)
Whew, that was quite a hike! 3 miles up hill then 3 miles down hill. It was freakin hot too. Somewhere around 80 I think. I wasn’t sure Dexter was going to make it being all sleep deprived and all. But he did!
Views were pretty but definitely not the Ocean views I love so much. The Sunset was very pretty though. It was amazing the amount of hills to the East of the Bay Area. You know the land is hilly but seeing it is something else.
Because of the warm temperature we saw several reptiles: 2ft long rattlesnake, garden snake, lizard, and we missed a king snake seen by fellow hikers. The squirrels were these squirrel-prairie dog hybrid looking creatures. And the cows that have free roaming of the “Open Space” land were cautiously curious. The bull I took a picture of had a humongous head!
After our hike we headed to Santana Row in San Jose for dinner. It’s supposed to be the *place-to-go* in SJ. Well it seemed that way. High end shops and restaurants. Setup reminded me of Lincoln Road in Miami. The big surprise was Santana Row was like *Plastic* City. I thought for a minute I was in LA. We’re not in San Francisco anymore Toto.
Anyway, it was great seeing Dale and Dexter. Enjoy the photos.
