San Jose

 Made it to San Jose and was picked up by a friend and taken to my sister’s house in Los Altos.

A few delays along the way, we arrived about an hour later than scheduled.

Here are a few shots from our flight.

Thought we were coming up on some cooling fog as we came closer to our destination. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the Santa Rita fire.
