Historic Folsom

This morning, I planned to walk in Old Folsom and to the old Folsom Powerhouse right on Riley street. I've posted all 60 photos from my walk today on Picasa. Copy and paste this link into your browser if it does not take you there when you click it:

   I posted picures of the state park area of the powerhouse, incuding Native American grinding rocks down by the lake

It is a beautiful morning. The bike riders, walkers and runners are all enjoying the walking and bike trail, There is a fun run starting in town today, as well. I began by walking through the Saturday morning farmer's market. 

    Get your organic fruit an vegetables right here at the beginning or end of your walk.

As I was leaving the market, I noticed a crew of hard working men breaking up the ice in the skating rink. Lots of people enjoyed this while it lasted. It was scheduled to go until January 20th and was unaffected by the unusually warm weather.

i finished my walk at Sutter Grill, which has very fast free Wifi for uploading photos and blogging and really nice pancakes. Recommended!

Had hot tea and a short stack while uploading the photos and finishing up this blog.

One thing I'd like to do is ride the light rail train from Folsom to Sacramento, and blog about it. Maybe next Saturday I will. Here's the Gold line light rail train just pulling out of the Folsom station at the beginning of my walk

Enjoy the photos in the link above. It took me from 10:20 am to 11:10 am to upload the photos and publish this blog entry. Hope it goes as smoothly in Paris in May. I will have Wifi in my apartment so I'll add more text about my experiences each day than I have here. For now, this practicing is encouraging.
