We visited Sacramento. The Governator lives here, he is on bed rest, because he broke his leg while skiing, unfortunately we did not get to meet him. We "only" went to old town Sacramento. It is a really cool place.
This statue commemorates the glory of the Pony Express, which started at this place at 02:45AM on April 4, 1860, when Sam Hamilton galloped into a blinding rainstorm on the first lap of the 1,966 mile trip to St. Joseph, Missouri. During its 18 month existence, its 121 riders and 500 ponies carried 35,000 pieces of mail with the loss of but one pouch. This venture ended California's isolation from the rest of the Union.
