San Jose

Sunday was a leisure day for me, as I arrived on Saturday and the 49ers game is on Monday night.

I wandered around the downtown area and found that there are quite a few small park areas, and although it was a weekend, it didn't seem to be all that busy with traffic.

There were lots of flowers and fountains at this area, and lots of restaurants all around the area too.

San Jose airport is almost in the middle of the city.  As a result, you see quite a lot of aeroplanes low in the sky.  In fact, my hotel seems to be on the approach path for the airport, but fortunately, it's not a really busy airport, so there aren't all that many.

But they do seem very low, all the same!

My hotel was right next to the Convention Center metro light rail stop, which was very convenient, as I'll be able to go from there to Levi's Stadium tomorrow.


One of the other parks has a giant monopoly board built into it.  There was a concert going on in the rest of the park, hence all the fencing around it and everything else in the background, This is actually a commercial venture designed for use by large groups - but apparently, it's the largest permanent installation of its kind in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
