Our last weekend in San Jose

So we didn't do anything too cool this weekend, but our big adventure will be on Monday so we will be sure to post pictures later.

On Friday we decided to get some Indian cuisine because it is cheaper here than in Utah. The food we got was really good, but we had some interesting experiences at this restaurant. We thought the prices looked really cheap for Indian food so we decided to splurge a little and get two separate entrees. We came to find out that the price didn't include rice which was an extra $4.00 for 2 sides of rice. We decided to split an entree and get only one rice instead and our waiter wasn't too happy about that. He kept pressing us to order more food and in the end ordered us two sides of rice when we asked for one. Oh well, the food was really good so we decided it wasn't worth the hassle to try to avoid paying for the extra rice.

Saturday we walked precincts around our apartment building for the "Yes on Proposition 8" campaign. If you haven't heard about this and are able to vote in California for the November elections, please study the issue and vote YES! It means a lot to our family especially if we end up living here after Trevor graduates.

That evening we went to downtown San Jose to check it out. To be honest, there's not a whole lot to do there. It's pretty meager compared to places like San Francisco. We would be interested to come back later on and check out The Tech Museum of Innovation as well as the San Jose Museum of Art. We forgot to bring our camera so here are some pictures we didn't take...

Here's a picture of the human accessible fountain downtown:


Here's a shot of the museum:


Here's some parade:


It's hard to believe that our summer here is coming to a close! We've really enjoyed ourselves and look forward to returning sometime next year :0).

Hmmm. It appears that the random pictures I selected scared off any commentators... ;-)
