Weather us a bit disappointed, and after checking the forecast we decided to spend the day in Fresno. Fast verified attractions and ... surprise. In fact, nothing in this town is not. We decided to start from the attractions of No 1 by TripAdvisor - Underground Gardens. But it turned out that the admission costs $ 12 per person (car entry to Yosemite for 7 days is $ 20) so a more accurate check on the Internet which can be seen in the gardens of groundwater eventually abandoned. We went to the "downtown", which is also designated as one of the attractions, a bit reminiscent of Santa Monica.
Unfortunately, the pedestrian area in the center, only the lack of traffic recalls Sana Monica. It is sad, dirty, most people appear to unemployed immigrants from Mexico. Definitely there is nothing worth seeing. At the end of the promenade is a local baseball stadium. Took place just a game, but the stands were filled in less than 10% and hardly resembled a major sports spectacle. At the end we decided to visit the zoo, because it was only from a list of attractions. Zoo is a small animal runs or not particularly large. Probably better than the poor post-Soviet countries, but the standards we have seen in San Diego a lot missing. So Fresno, even though it is the largest city in California, five, years of glory is long behind him, and probably not worth a stop here. On the way back we found a very interesting place that is not advertised or described anywhere. Millerton Lake and the surrounding estate.
This area of "recreational" is located around Lake Millerton. It appears that their houses have many rich people here. On the road you will see some very impressive enclosed settlements looking houses, evenly przystrzyżonych lawns, tennis courts, etc. On the other side of the street is a beautifully situated lake with excellent infrastructure for picnics and leisure activities. Probably during the season is here, many people. In early May, was no more than two cars. |
