We drove up into the foggy, wet city of San Jose to check out San Jose State University. However, there was no haze and no rain. Just cloudy, gray (at times blue) skies and perfect temps.
Truman got accepted into the college of engineering school at SJSU so we were there to check out the urban landscaped campus and sights of silicon valley during spring break.
