Exploring Downtown San Jose

For my week 4 Adventure, I went to Downtown San Jose. Though I have been there before to go to the library, I have never explored the streets of Downtown San Jose. 

After SAT Testing at San Jose State University, my friend Elsa and I walked to Johnny Rockets, located in the center of Downtown San Jose, by the fountain and the Tech Museum. The streets were small and there were a lot more coffee and tea shops than I thought. Though Downtown San Jose does not compare to the streets of Downtown Los Angeles, it was pretty quiet. I observed the tall buildings and the white church as I walked pass them. Surprisingly, there was a Ross Department Store which I found amusing due to the copious amount of not-so-well-known stores in the heart of Downtowm San Jose. 

Some parts of Downtown San Jose were shady-looking with some homeless people and suspicious dark lighted shops. Elsa and I rushed down the sidewalk, trying to avoid coming in contact with strangers. In addition to not waking any of the homeless people up by tripping on them since there were a lot people at the park by the fountain. 

Overall, I enjoyed exploring Downtown Sam Jose and experiencing what it was like to walk down the city if I were to go to San Jose State. Downtown San Jose was not as busy as San Francisco and Los Angeles and it was lovely to just walk around and explore. I definitely hope to walk down the streets of Downtown San Jose again.
