TC remembered seeing this dessert place in Berkeley (which has since closed as of December 2017)...

The State Capitol + Return, Sacramento

Earlier that same morning after seeing the historic district

We had walked back to our hotel to drive to this tourist attraction...

Insight Coffee Roasters (now closed)

Bright and early...

The sun was still up...

Painted utility boxes + the "Fuller Poles" & the "We're all in it together" mural in Alley Q

We had already put our stuff away at the hotel...

(awesome poster at the bus stop)

and soon set out again to do a little exploring before having dinner...
