My journalism class went on a field trip to downtown San Jose today.
San Jose makes me think "there is no 'there' there" over and over again. It's not pretty, and not charming. It has multiple layers of history, randomly sloshing together. It has good pearl tea, and expensive parking. It has street names in Spanish, ridiculously fancy "European" cafes and restaurants, and homeless people snoring loudly in the middle of the afternoon.
