Picnic Lunch turned to Driving Tour of the Martinez Shoreline Park Today

Today from 10:30AM to12:30PM, Joseph Woo, THD Activity Assistant gave four of us ( Margaret, Jan, Ray and I) a private van tour of the City of Martinez and the shoreline park. We were supposed to have a Picnic lunch over looking the Carquinez shoreline, but it was so windy and chilly, we decided to have just a driving tour of the City. We enjoyed the shoreline views and the historic downtown area for about one hour. We decided to bring our packed picnic lunch back to THD, so we can enjoy it leisurely with out the chilling winds that give me shivers after feeling it for just 10 minutes. The wind chill reminds me of the Windy City Of Chicago, having resided in Chicago from 1960-1964.         

Here are two photos from Wikipedia of the water views and one of the historic buildings of Martinez for your viewing pleasure: the Contra Costa County Courthouse and the view of the Martinez shoreline from the Carquinez Regional Park Ridge. The CCC court house reminded of my first jury duty as a US citizen as well as the former office of my son, Dodie, a Prosecuting attorney for Contra Costa County for over two decades.  


In case you have not heard of Martinez, CA : Martinez  is a city and the county seat of Contra Costa County, California, United States, in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area Located on the southern shore of the Carquinez Strait, the city's population was 37,287 at the 2020 census. The city is named after Californio ranchero Ygnacio Martínez, having been founded on his Rancho El Pinole. Martinez is known for its historic center and its waterfront.

Again, Thank you Joseph for the tour. I had a good time and the drive today is a good respite from by daily activity here at THD. I feel invigorated and was happy to get out for fresh air from my gilded cage apartment here in the Fairmount Building. 

More Power to You and Karen K for all the Planned Activities here at THD.  Joseph your service to the activity needs of the senior residents here at THD is very much appreciated.
