California, Part Deux

As previously mentioned, I’m feeling nostalgic for northern California. I’m actually heading up to the San Fransisco Bay area sometime this January, which I am super-awesome-excited for, especially because I’m going with the three lovely folks who joined me for the British Grenadiers video. Anyway, I’m not feeling entirely as wordy as I was when I wrote the original spiel on Southern California, so allow me to express my nostalgia for Northern California briefly.

Northern and Central California contain a few of the most beautiful locations in this country. Be it the majestic and breathe-taking forests of Yosemite (which I highly highly highly recommend visiting if you have not already, as very few places in North America contain as many truly beautiful natural landmarks) or the exceptionally planned, and thoroughly entertaining boardwalk of Santa Cruz, Central California is definitely one of the best places to visit if one wants to have a truly positive experience in the state.

Northern California is one of the only places in California that you will find well-planned cities, such as San Fransisco and Sacramento, as well as a few exceptional towns and smaller cities, such as those in the Sonoma and Napa areas, as well as Berkeley. These cities are also home to a refreshing art and music scene, and are worth visiting for the entertainment alone.

Okay, this is all starting to sound like an advertisement. I love Northern California. I love the fog that rolls through the beach cities and I love the nature and man-made structures. Almost everything about the place is so much better than the southern portion of the state. A+ highly recommend, ja.

I promise to post something more intelligent and satisfying to read soon.
