MotherLode and Dixieland Jazz Festival

  

                               
     We had a great time exploring the old west, including a private tour of the State Capitol.  Notice the personal welcome to the Senate Chamber.  

     The Sacramento Dixieland Jazz Festival was fantastic; about 60,000 people in lots of venues and on the streets, listening to great music.  One of the best things about car travel is experiencing the beauty of the California countryside; rolling hills, huge oak trees, cattle, horses, and all the things we forget about living in the big city.  It is very restorative.

Looks great to me Myrna. I managed to enlarge the Calliope picture. It must have been playing on compressed air by the look of it - rather than steam. I just love Dixieland jazz.
Was he playing Dixie on the Calliope?
