Guadalupe River Park & Gardens

After a series of false starts to help give San Jose an identity that doesn't include an eccentric to possibly seriously mentally disturbed rifle heiress, the city planners might just have finally gotten it right. I thoroughly enjoyed following the meandering (at places) Guadalupe as it makes its way through downtown San Jose. if nothing else it satisfies that basic urge that is in some of us to find the most direct path between two points. If you go at the right time, and really listen, it can nearly take you back to when there really wasn't much here but the Guadalupe. They still have some work to do, but as it is stands, it is as an outstanding option for a pleasant bike ride or a leisurely stroll.
