Driving to Davis California

We got up early to watch a soccer match in Davis,CA a city aproximately 40 miles North of Solano.Unfortunately Hwy 80 was a parking lot, so that we did not make it to the match.We made it to the second game though.

Davis is a university town being home to UCLA Davis.It is a bicycle friendly town with
wide streets, bike lanes and bike paths.

Another popular attraction to Davis is its farm produce.We dropped by Ikeda's Orchard Market, near Hwy 80 to buy fresh eggs, fresh tomatoes,fresh cucumber, dried fruits which are priced reasonably and a blackberry pie which is a bit expensive but has a
nice taste to it.

Driving to Davis gives you the nostalgia of driving to a farm town and buying the goods straight from the farmer.

In reality, the farmer's son who isnext in line will no longer be the farmer. He has gone to university in pursuit of a degree in medicine.
