Walking
Yesterday was world walking day. In the evening I went walking. We started at the Rose Garden at the State Capital. The 5K walk took us around the streets of Sacramento. There are so many buildings with interesting histories scattered along and in between the state government buildings which make up the majority of buildings. I walked on streets I had driven gaining a new perspective.

I didn't know it was world walking day. They didn't publicise that very well!
I like to walk through older neighborhoods and try to imagine what they looked like when the buildings were new. There is a neighborhood in Blair that can absolutely transport you back to the 1920s. So much of modern day architecture has replaced artistic charm with functionality in so many places. Of course, I don't travel much, so maybe it's just around here.

If I wasn't a member of Volkswalkers I wouldn't have known about it.
It's not just in Blair; there is a lot of ticky tac. In California there has been so much dumping of the artisticin the past. Now there is an organization that is saving the old buildings.
I love old architecture. You sisters need to plan a trip over here! The architecture will blow our mind.
