In Sacramento temperatures had risen like crazy. We only had limited time, so I gave the rest of the group a very quick tour of the Capitol. After visiting the Capitol building we went to a museum in Old Sacramento and returned to San Francisco. For the first time since we lived here temperatures throughout the city were extremely hot: in the 90s!! In hardly ever gets this hot in the city, particularly in the Sunset District!
The pass on the way down to Sacramento from the Sierra Nevada.
Squaw Valley - this is where we went skiing the first year we were in California. Original plan was to take a gondula up the mountain and do some hiking. However, contrary to the website, the gondula was down and we decided to set off early for a quick visit to Sacramento instead.
At the falls..
A bit of hiking... Across granite rocks to the water falls.
Emerald Bay.
Looking back over our shoulders towards South Lake Tahoe, CA (and Nevada).
South Lake Tahoe, California
Our first brief stop near the lake: Lake Tahoe, Nevada side. In the background the tall casino buildings.
Only a little a bit of snow left - it certainly looked different from last January when we visited the area to go skiing.
In week 20 Frank's parents visited San Francisco for the second (third) time. Main goal: Frank's graduation. On Tuesday and Wednesday the four of us went to Lake Tahoe to do some roadtripping and hiking.
