During a little research of the city for my trip, I found out something that I had not known about San Jose. It was the original state capital of California prior to its statehood into the US.
"Pueblo de San Jose de Guadalupe" was the original name for San Jose given by Charles the Third of Spain.
In a little more modern day terms, San Jose is the 3rd largest CA city, and 11th largest in the nation. It is very well known as the gateway to the Silicon Valley... and all things high tech!

ur external page is cool.... hope u and sarah have many wonderful times
great to find a page about the place where the chips in my computer come from :-)))
I was expecting to see a Golf Buggy under the Transport tips on this one! ;-)
LOL my BIG brother lives here, you don't much like golfing do you?
45 min. to get a rental car? This is why I think business travel is a pain in the neck. Good tip on Shoreline. You should look up my brother-in-law - he's a pretty decent golfer.
Nice additions Mark. Really nice page!:-)
