San Jose Historical Park


We met the Martin clan for brunch at Applebee's, then headed off on our own to the Historial Park in San Jose. It was an unexpected treat: the 1920's electric car was running and gave us a ride around the park, the docent/conductor invited us for a private tour in their restoration shop, and we had ice cream in the restored hotel. My favorite: a 1916 Detroit Electric car which looked as neat as anything you see on the road today, and shocking given all the hoopla around hybrid cars. (Good movie btw: Who Killed the Electric Car).
