Olympic Fever

As it was threatening rain in San Francisco this morning, we decided to go to Old Sacramento for the day. It was warm & wonderful & interesting. We started with lunch at Joe's Crab shack and then spent a couple of hours wandering through town. We saw where the first Pony Express rider started off on his way to St Louis. We saw a replica of the Nina, one of the ships that came to America with Christopher Columbus. We saw a demonstration on muzzle loader rifles...they make a really loud noise when they're fired. And we saw lots of crazy boaters as we rode our water taxi up & down the river. As our last day here in Davis draws to a close, we are hunkered down watching the Olympics and cheering for the USA.
