Event comments
Walk in historical downtown San Jose. First stop is the San Jose State University campus founded in 1887. Continue through the modern MLK Library and on through the town. You will see the original Peralta Adobe, the Shark Tank (ice hockey stadium), now named SAP Center, the original railway station (still in use). The walk includes parts of the river path to the purple Children's Discovery Museum funded by Apple founder, Steve Wozniak. View the San Jose Museum of Art, the beautiful St. James Cathedral and Little Italy. This walk is the best way to see the capitol of Silicon Valley.
