Walking Tour Sacramento California - Virtual Travel Walking Treadmill Scenery - 4K City Walks
Mar 17, 2025
We're on a family trip to central California and making a stop in the Capital of Sacramento. It's a beautiful city to walk through, with lots of lovely trees and quiet side walks. We start out at the capitol building and make our way over to the cathedral and then back over through the areas close to the river and Old Sacramento. Many stores and windows were boarded up, I assume due to the social justice protests but many restaurants and hotels were still open. We hope you enjoy this lovely virtual walk.

hello walkers and welcome to sacramento california uh i didn't plan on doing this walk but
0:09
here we are we're on a family trip and uh we had an hour to spare
0:16
and so here we are in sacramento the capital of california it's a friday about 11 a.m
0:23
it's 75 degrees fahrenheit and i can't remember what that is in
0:30
celsius hold on just a second here 24 degrees
0:35
uh and as i said we are in sacramento the capital of
0:41
california sacramento is about well let me just say first that since i didn't plan this i
0:47
didn't do any research which i barely do any research anyway so we're just pretty much going to wander
0:53
around and see what we can see it seems to be downtown we're gonna try and
0:58
make our way over to the waterfront historic waterfront as well um but we'll see where we end up
1:06
uh it is of course um coveted times and i'm not exactly sure
1:12
what the mask requirements are here but i'm wearing one anyway this is absolutely beautiful capital
1:18
grounds here love all these big massive trees a lot of different species
1:23
shady green well kemp'd so well kempt well kept
1:33
i did do a little bit of wiki research here uh before i started and that's
1:40
told me a few things one sacramento is about 500 000 people
1:48
last census um and it's one of the fastest growing
1:54
cit large cities in california the ninth largest uh state capital
1:59
[Music] it consists of a hundred square hundred point one square miles
2:06
and if i get in these wrongs please correct me on anything that you see that i make an error uh
2:12
add in stuff that i miss i appreciate those in the comments below uh and uh any personal stories or
2:20
anecdotes or things you know about sacramento that i don't i'd love to hear about those
2:26
so i'll call stuff out as i see it but again i don't really know a lot so i
2:33
don't want to just make stuff up it's a very beautiful
2:38
and quiet city one of the things i've noticed is a lot of
2:44
light rail and in that i really i love seeing that in a city
2:50
public transportation of course in the time of a pandemic
2:55
it's not uh sorry i'm just in my mass public transportation is probably not
3:02
the most popular form right now
3:08
give you where we are uh l street and i think 10th
3:15
uh i'm gonna cross over
3:21
and we're walking along l right now
3:28
it's like starbucks has been boarded up i don't know why that is some other storefronts are boarded
3:43
another thing you may notice probably can't tell is uh the amount of forest fire smoke here
3:52
we're not that far from san francisco uh 100 200 miles something like that
4:00
and uh the fires a lot of the fires are north of here and west of here
4:10
[Music] and so it's really smoky although apparently it's been much worse in the past
4:16
week or two uh the weather is nice it's muggy and humid
4:22
but that's what you get when you're not in the mountain states these old buildings
4:32
kind of cool i'm using a dji osmo pocket
4:38
with a very cheap vertical axis stabilizer
4:44
and so we'll see how well that works the camera is great the axis stabilizer
4:50
is uh still haven't gotten it so that i i like it very much
4:58
a lot of this uh capitol building is uh
5:06
fenced off here i don't know if that's to do with protests or what the rules are about access
5:16
this old building that's pretty cool
5:24
see if i can figure out what that is
5:40
i think this building over here is the senator hotel
5:52
just gonna walk around actually we're gonna go up here to 12th and make a left because i saw the
5:59
hints of a cool church and we'll uh see what we find over there
6:06
looks like a nice park up here as [Music]
6:19
i'm well to walk through that park but we have a limited amount of time uh before i have to be back
6:32
so we'll make a left here on 12th oh caught the light
6:41
this is over here the hyatt regency hotel uh being the capital there's a lot of
6:48
governmental corresponding business
6:54
a lot of lobbying and think tanks and a couple universities uc davis is
7:00
outside of town or in town i'm not sure and you see i think
7:07
there's another uc sacramento or something like that
7:15
love the mix of uh classic old uh
7:22
architecture and new modernist architecture although
7:27
some of the modern stuff isn't that great going by the hyatt regency parking
7:32
garage i've seen a lot of stuff boarded up
7:38
uh i assume it might have something to do with the protests but i don't know what the situation is
7:43
here uh across the way is the cathedral building that blueish building
7:49
and on the right here is the koa room which looks like a uh restaurant and
7:56
cocktail bar
8:08
looks like to the right here on k street might be a pedestrian area
8:16
but we are going to go down this side see if we can oh yeah look
8:23
there's a cathedral i'll try to look that up real quick
8:32
on my google maps
8:40
[Music] because cathedral of the blessed
8:46
sacrament is what i'm getting um sacramento of
8:51
course is named for the sacrament of the eucharist i say that of course
8:58
because a traveling male read that out of the wikipedia entry um it's not obvious at all
9:07
love these the way they've made these uh public transit access points
9:14
makes things a little bit easier for folks
9:21
this looks like the csac california association california state association of counties
9:30
again one of those either lobbying organizations or governmental organizations
9:36
so very cool mule mural here
9:48
looks like an impromptu one so i'm gonna uh s talk over this music
9:56
for a second hopefully this train will uh drown it out more than i can
10:02
the bell and the traffic sounds
10:08
it's a pretty nice building right here as well not sure which one that is
10:16
you can see the boarded up buildings i mean windows there's a better look of the cathedral
10:23
an interesting building beyond it says 1895. let's see if i cross here
10:34
we'll go take a look at that as i mentioned we're going to wander around downtown
10:40
see what we see
10:51
i've gotten a lot of comments about oh hold on oblivion comics and coffee
10:58
boarded up i attempted to go in there um although i'm not going in anywhere
11:04
right now honestly um
11:10
what was i gonna say oh oh looks like a fire down there not sure what i was talking about
11:20
i'm so easily distracted
11:40
so well i don't know what this building is
11:47
says uh bpoe which is uh think of eagles
11:55
brotherhood something of eagles but i'll pan up to show you
12:04
sort of a neat old early 20th late 19th 1895
12:10
the claim jumper restaurant oh this is kind of nice too look at that mural down there
12:17
on that old building it's pretty sweet and of course you've got the requisite
12:22
palm trees down on this direction and uh that's a pretty sweet old
12:28
building as well i'm not gonna go down that direction because
12:34
it's all kind of closed off for construction and in the end it's not really where i want to go anyway
12:40
i'm going to head back this way towards the capitol and head towards the river sacramento as you
12:46
may or may not know is at the confluence of the american and the
12:54
sacramento rivers uh the history of this dates back to the early 1800s
13:00
late 1700s of course the spanish were here when they had colonized the area and
13:08
um you may have heard of sutter's mill and sutter was a
13:16
spanish citizen from originally from switzerland and uh he settled in this area started a
13:24
fort started trading and of course at sutter's mill they had that 1849 gold
13:30
strike which is so famous um
13:36
a little history there i was going to say i think that i've had a lot of comments a lot several
13:44
comments recently about
13:50
keeping the camera steady and straight for people on treadmills versus uh showing stuff for the right and left
13:59
i'm gonna apologize for this construction sound up here and i'm airing on the side of showing
14:05
more [Music] just because i think it's part of the
14:10
appeal for this area if let me know your thoughts below on that
14:15
that's the ambrosia room over there pizza rock looks like a pizza place i guess
14:23
and then this is nash and proper i don't know what that is uh
14:32
looks like a concert venue up here across from the family fitness
14:41
and uh empress tavern [Music]
14:48
or the crest theater it's like uh
14:54
a theater venue looks awesome i love these uh old cedar venues and uh
15:02
the kind of 1920s 1930s design elements
15:12
[Music]
15:17
we're on k again and we're coming up on [Music]
15:24
tenth
15:33
there's that uh other building i mentioned by iverson barbershop i'm gonna
15:40
steal across here
15:45
love those old 19th century buildings as much as this these art deco style buildings
15:53
like that theater back there
16:08
[Music]
16:15
this is the golden rice bowl which looks like a chinese restaurant
16:26
i would have thought there had been more uh foot traffic down here at this time
16:31
even with the pandemic but i guess a lot of people are learning to work from home i'm sure these restaurants are
16:39
getting hit hard by that change
16:51
lots of little uh mom and pop type restaurants we passed of course a couple really
16:56
fancy ones as well i'm sure there's a lot of money that flows through this town
17:05
there's a rite aid [Music]
17:11
i think i'm gonna go down another block here
17:21
how you doing sorry man yeah that's got to be tough for people
17:29
with the lack of cash these days [Music]
17:42
okay over here you have the in the distance you have the u.s bank building and you can see the uh
17:50
painted wall for hotel berry b-e-r-r-y looks like a classical building so we
17:56
might just walk over that way coming up on eighth and k
18:16
looks like we got some other people shooting video up here
18:24
always makes me a little self-conscious
18:34
[Music] got a train coming
18:48
gonna cross over
19:02
love this mural over here in this uh restaurant it's called solomon's
19:12
very cool very uh colorful and intricate patterns there
19:19
talk over some of the music they're playing though so that we don't get hit with uh
19:24
youtube's copyright filter [Music]
19:31
there we go
19:37
another cool mural
19:58
it's interesting to see this central downtown area and the variety
20:06
of housing options and buildings oh that's a pretty one down here too
20:13
like almost like joan of arc down there at the end of the alley lots of public artwork but there's a
20:18
variety of buildings that you would have thought would have been bought up and renovated
20:24
and uh basically erased and yet
20:30
there's seems to be some cheap and affordable housing downtown in
20:36
certain areas that i passed earlier before i started filming we're passing the hotel berry right now
20:43
see the sign
20:50
maybe i'll point some out when i see them i think we will see them as we cross over capitol street
20:56
we're crossing l here by hustle
21:03
this really is a beautiful city at least this part of it i'm sure you know it has its downsides
21:12
but for now i love all these big trees i know i say that a lot but
21:18
having some nature in with the high density of people
21:24
really to me makes a huge psychological difference it should be a pretty essential part of
21:30
any city design if you want to make your city livable anyway
21:37
i know it's not cheap it takes a long time and a lot of forethought but man it sure does make a difference
21:44
[Music]
21:50
as we come up here on capitol street i'll i'll pan left to show you another view
21:55
of the capitol building
22:01
and of course you can see the light rail tracks here along the street as well which is kind of cool and
22:07
here comes another train that's uh such an efficient
22:15
way of getting a good good system a well-designed system is a really efficient way of getting people around
22:22
uh relatively cheaply uh i mean if you can consider in the
22:29
cost of owning a vehicle all the maintenance and oil changes and fuel and insurance and stuff there's a
22:35
capital building again uh and
22:41
for uh hold on i'm gonna pan right here i'm not sure that's a
22:47
bridge of some sort i don't know if it's a footbridge or not [Music]
22:53
but uh [Music]
23:02
i don't know if i can get over there but we're gonna head this way and uh we'll head down that direction
23:09
because there's at least one more uh two more buildings i want to show you
23:16
and one is up here on the corner and that's before we cross over
23:22
to the old waterfront
23:27
i mentioned that it's built on the confluence of the american and sacramento rivers what i
23:35
didn't mention i don't think is the um propensity for flooding that it's had
23:42
historically and they've since built up a lot of levees and dikes and that sort of thing from what i understand
23:47
um to mitigate that but a lot of those are aging out now and need
23:54
a lot of work uh to maintain that they have the reserve a huge amount of space
24:01
outside of the city is a flood plain so that water has somewhere to go other than downtown
24:13
let's see if i can look up what this old victorian building is
24:22
the leland stanford mansion state historic park so stanford you've heard of the
24:27
university i'm sure he was one of the guys that
24:32
hit it rich here and i don't exactly know how he hit it rich i don't remember what
24:40
industry it was i think it was probably supplying minors or else real estate or something
24:46
it was very powerful man powerful family and that's a very fancy house to prove
24:52
it we are on 8th street right now
25:01
i think we just crossed we just crossed n street and we're headed up to o and we'll make
25:07
a right on o
25:21
pan over to show you another view of this mansion beautiful victorian 19th century
25:27
building [Music] next to this dark
25:34
monolith from 2001
25:39
probably predates that quite a bit but i was referring to the movie i think um more old mission style building over
25:48
here
25:54
a little bit of a breeze hopefully that's not going to be too loud on the microphone [Music]
26:07
this is 8 and 0. a lot of construction going on here
26:15
[Music] looks like oh doesn't go all the way down
26:21
oh and here's another interesting old victorian home
26:29
or house go over that way
26:36
i was uh promoting light rail as public transport
26:42
and uh this sure is um sure was
26:50
handy and useful and just made getting around easily does in europe most recently i
26:57
was thinking of vienna you hop the buses and the trams and go
27:03
just about anywhere in the city not sure what building that is
27:15
that is i don't know what that is it's not
27:22
coming up on the google maps so
27:29
it looks like oh street doesn't really go through so we will go back to
27:36
in after we cross sorry
27:54
really is just a beautiful leafy city in this park
28:01
we came down off of the sierra nevada's from reno and it was dry and smoky
28:09
with a lot of um let's say dry and smoky smoky but the a lot of the leaves look like late summer
28:15
burnt not fire burnt but um just dried up prone to fire maybe
28:23
up higher where the ponderosa pines a lot of beautiful ponderosa pine park land that was really beautiful
28:31
um and uh then we come down here and it's humid
28:38
and uh almost forested and all these beautiful mature trees
28:46
i'll try to stop harping on that here's one of these apartment areas you know two or three
28:52
blocks from the capitol and a two level apartment complex that
29:00
i have no idea what the rates are but they don't look like they're that expensive
29:11
i'm gonna make a left on n
29:19
you know this is sort of a suburban style apartment complex
29:28
i would have guessed it would have been bought up and a skyscraper put on top of it
29:34
[Music] and maybe it will maybe it's uh
29:42
in line for that on somebody's planning
29:52
board
30:37
[Music]
30:43
so over on capitol street i think is called the capitol mall and uh similar to the mall in washington
30:51
dc which is more of a park than what i would refer typically think of as a mall being a shopping center
30:59
that's probably a newer interpretation of that
31:16
word
31:31
coming up on n and fifth street and across the way sorry
31:38
behind that tree is the wells fargo center
31:43
big banking tower
31:52
wherever you find government you find
31:58
banks and there's a macy's a few other stores
32:06
you can see down here how leafy these trees are how sylvan
32:14
the streets that's right i said sylvan
33:11
coming up on fourth it's just like uh another apartment building called
33:16
governor square and again i mean i don't want to
33:22
besmirch the residents of governor square but it doesn't look like it's high end
33:29
it's pretty typical mass-produced
33:36
housing which is nothing wrong with that i just uh surprised us here in the midst of
33:42
downtown
33:48
it looks perfectly nice but you right next to 50 story buildings 30
33:56
story buildings a little uh a little surprising
34:04
here's uh somebody a lyft driver looks like they've had their they and uber are
34:10
having a big legal battle with the state of california over
34:16
the employment status of their drivers
34:22
which i can sort of empathize with both sides of that from what i know of the argument
34:33
okay coming up on third we're gonna make a left here and then a right on though and we'll
34:38
show you the crocker museum crocker art museum another we're not gonna go inside but
34:44
another uh beautiful old building classic i think
34:49
it's called victorian style although it looks slightly different with the
34:54
roof lines to me i don't quite know enough about architecture to
35:00
to know the different names and styles um but
35:06
they are beautiful and ornate so i'm going to call them uh victorian
35:15
correct me in the comments below if you haven't done if you know better and can uh inform everybody
35:22
share with everybody uh uh the style
35:29
this sign here has a bunch of museums old walker sacramento waterfront uh when i was melinda my traveling mel
35:38
was uh reading out the wikipedia article to me as we drove into town she was listing out all the various
35:45
museums and there are a lot that's pretty cool
35:51
in my mind you know we homeschool our kids and we travel the world and
35:56
museums are a great way to learn and get the lowdown on a place and all kinds
36:04
of different stuff so we we enjoy those a lot
36:14
okay third and o we're going to cross over here
36:22
and see this building
36:39
not sure what the story is on that either what the uh if it's a family
36:46
old family home or something else surely that was a residence at some
36:52
point and this had this uh modern cement
36:59
section added on and then even more modern across the alley up here
37:30
must have been a nice place to live back in the day of course you can smell the boxwoods
37:36
here too love the smell of boxwoods
37:41
and then here's a much more modern section
37:49
all right we're gonna come up on oh this is second street and then we're gonna cross i think it's
37:57
uh i believe it's interstate five i5 the five as they say here
38:06
yeah we're going to cross over that to the old sacramento and waterfront area
38:13
hopefully if i've navigated us appropriately
38:19
if i followed uh traveling mel's directions that she read off to me appropriately then we
38:26
should be there
38:32
uh when we looked down the capitol mall earlier we saw those yellow maybe so notice those yellow uh bridge
38:38
stanchions that's where we are uh university of san
38:44
francisco down there in the nbc suites hotel of course uh california traffic
38:50
[Music] take another look down here
39:01
fun fun fun
39:23
[Applause] [Music] okay is the corner of oh and front street
39:34
some more light rail tracks over there
39:58
and then the sacramento river down here there's a whole delta system
40:08
downstream it's apparently a really cool ecosystem oh look it's traveling mel in her crew
40:16
scooting scooting it's my wife and kids
40:26
so we're going to continue on to old sacramento which is from what i understand um
40:37
uh sort of a historical and rebuilt historical area kind of a recreation of the way
40:44
it was back in the 1800s
40:50
so we'll see what they have to offer down there including at least in normal times in the before
40:55
times uh historical reenactors
41:17
looks like these are old sycamore or young sycamore trees i one of the things i've noticed about
41:22
the trees and i know i thought i was going to stop harping on that is the diversity of tree species here
41:30
it's not just old oaks or old elm trees there's a lot of palm trees and
41:35
a lot of different hardwoods and soft woods it's pretty cool
41:41
see that old bridge
41:49
looks like it's a an old drawbridge that old style uh
41:59
management or office or uh operational structure on top of the middle there
42:19
over to the right is the embassy suites again the tower bridge bistro restaurant
42:31
[Music]
42:37
[Music]
42:47
i love this old style iron work the rivets exposed
43:08
i don't know how much is actually going to be open in the old sacramento area
43:14
but we'll get to take a look at least [Music] this is tower bridge i guess and i think
43:21
this is capitol street that we're coming up upon
43:38
home
43:51
off to the right is the capitol building at the end again
44:25
and uh up here you can see some of these old uh wooden structures
44:31
in this old wooden boardwalk
44:44
so there's off there's some straight ahead some off to the right so what i'm gonna do is continue down here for ways
44:50
and then we'll uh maybe we'll loop back and see what those old buildings are all
44:57
about joe's crap sorry joe's crab shack here
45:07
kind of wonder how much of this is historic and how much of it is actually just
45:12
uh t-shirt shops and knick knackeries and all sorts of uh
45:18
sugar and spice and colors and airbrush stuff as i talk over that music being played
45:24
over the loudspeaker
45:30
oh geez more music or the loudspeaker i may have to
45:36
just drop out my audio here
45:41
rio city cafe
45:51
[Music]
45:58
do
46:06
[Music]
46:23
looks like they have an old paddle wheeler maybe you're a steam ship take a look real quick
46:31
the delta king
46:39
i assume that's a functioning sternwheeler
46:44
although there seems to be some growth on a few of the paddles
46:51
be a fun way to take a tour of the river
47:01
[Music] there's some old steam engines on
47:07
display up here
47:14
this is turning into a longer walk than i expected hope that's okay for everybody i know
47:20
different people like different lengths i guess you could always pause it and come back later
47:27
if it's not long enough
47:32
wow this is a mammoth steam engine santa fe 5021
47:42
this thing must weigh an epic amount of mass
47:49
i know my grammar's off on that look at the construction look at all the rivets and bolts
47:58
i bet that was hot work look at that thing
48:03
those wheels are approximately i would say four and a half feet in diameter
48:18
there's another one
48:24
a similar heft
48:34
looks like this path continues on along the river but we're going to cut over i think
48:39
uh well are we are we though actually i think we're going to continue on
48:46
uh past this uh engine house i guess
48:54
[Music]
48:59
[Music] got a little wave there yeah
49:04
we'll go down one more block then we'll cut over
49:12
plus we're in the shade here a lot more big steam engines over there
49:20
oh and a nice little water side area down here
49:26
looks like we're gonna skip that for now
49:36
i think these are oak trees maybe
49:41
and then this is maybe a sycamore coming up
49:54
see that a nice little park that is
49:59
the cement uh edifices are broken up but it's clean and cool
50:14
[Music] coming up here on the right is a sacramento history museum
50:20
uh my assumption is it's closed but it could be open i'll check looks like it's got a round house in one
50:25
end or part of a round house where they uh or a switching yard
50:32
if you know the difference please let me know i'm not really sure
50:52
so i think it's safe to assume this building has been rebuilt
50:59
but it looks like a few of these others are pre-existing i mentioned earlier the flooding i think
51:05
early sacramento have a big problem with that getting uh ravaged by floods
51:12
but i do love these old style uh storefronts and boardwalks
51:21
and uh it looks like the museum is
51:34
open [Music]
51:43
definitely not a busy time for uh ye olde sacramento
51:51
tucked in here between interstate 5 and the sacramento river here's the off the left is the uh
51:59
california state railroad museum sorry i just hit the uh mic gonna take a picture of this
52:05
storefront here [Music]
52:13
it's kind of fun definitely i definitely love the aspect of these
52:20
places of uh inspiring the imagination of what it must have been like here
52:27
to live here uh what 200 years ago no 150 years ago
52:47
here we're getting into the uh tourism infrastructure
52:53
fun little uh place to eat outside down there looks like although not really big into restaurants
53:01
right now i know they're having a hard time i just don't feel comfortable personally
53:07
yet i'm gonna cross over here sorry about the swerving um just so
53:15
i can show you the front of this buildings
53:23
and then i'm gonna cross back since you see what it looks like and we'll go get a closer look
53:44
here's the t-shirt shop that we were all waiting to see
53:51
so there's that coming up is a river city saloon with a
53:57
wooden pirate
54:02
i guess sacramento was both was the terminus for both the pony express and the transcontinental railroad
54:10
all right and i see a pony express statue off the left here
54:18
across the street i believe that's what that is
54:23
there's a restaurant bar lounge
54:48
we're at second and j street right here we're gonna cut down this way
54:57
take a look there's a saltwater taffy shop across
55:03
the way it's called munchies
55:14
and there's pioneer park crossover take a look at that watch your step
55:24
[Music]
55:31
some old columns and that sort of thing not the nicest of parks at the moment
55:51
[Music] so i'm going to have to talk a little bit more as we go through this musical
55:58
explosion here people are sitting outside the brandon manor a local pond eating some food maybe
56:06
getting some beers across the way is the scallop family jewelers tahoma block kahama block and uh fat city bar and
56:14
cafe it's always a challenge to keep talking uh
56:20
while we walk past that music but it's a little easier than coming back later
56:25
and uh trying to edit it out oh sorry about that
56:54
we must be on front street again we've seen the trains
57:16
coming up is the what cheer house interesting name for a place
57:23
the building it's interesting also you can see the the skyscrapers poking up beyond the
57:30
skyline here
57:36
over here you have uh california steamers
57:42
sorry steam navigation companies and then you have a fish market etc
57:51
and the stage inn i guess is what that is we're gonna keep going down we're gonna
57:57
make a left here on k street past steamers coffee
58:03
it's an appropriate name for a coffee shop down here the steam engine steam and steam boats i think is the
58:09
word i'm looking for and you've got a of course a
58:16
a bunch of eateries and
58:23
stuff what am i looking for souvenirs that's the word i'm looking for
58:44
sock city fun sock boutique that is a narrow niche
58:52
we got a lot of socks though so maybe they're doing all right river city shooting gallery that's
59:00
interesting and if that's for real
59:07
looks like electronic shooting
59:12
coming up on second again in the ever-present interstate 5. it's interesting to see
59:19
that a lot of these buildings have been boarded up as well
59:24
i'm a little surprised to think that there would be protests down here but maybe the historical aspect of it
59:33
makes it more significant more symbolic place to demonstrate historic
59:43
racism of our system of our history
59:58
i've been seeing a lot of other walking channels as i go through and i subscribe to a
1:00:04
bunch of them because i like to watch and explore other cities as i'm sure many of you do as well and
1:00:10
i've been envious of all the folks in places like london
1:00:15
and paris and uh prague and amsterdam
1:00:22
uh i know they are dependent on tourism and a lot of businesses are
1:00:27
really hurting right now but as a tourist as a person who likes
1:00:32
to travel around and see places i am so envious of the lack of crowds
1:00:39
similar to what we're experiencing here today but in you know paris in london
1:00:46
and prague and amsterdam et cetera et cetera et cetera um you know if you've traveled to those
1:00:54
places in the last few years you can i mean paris is basically just a theme park where you spend most your day in
1:01:00
lines [Music] it's still an incredibly beautiful city
1:01:05
but sure would be nice to have it almost to yourself i'm sure a lot of
1:01:12
people uh are enjoying a bit of a respite
1:01:23
not to of course underestimate or understate the impacts of covid on those places
1:01:37
wow we're at almost we're over an hour now it's the first time i've gone over an hour in a long time
1:01:44
i think partly because i was thinking about this earlier i think partly because i tend to do um
1:01:52
a full day of filming now i go out and i'll drive around to a bunch of towns around
1:01:57
uh montana or you know i'll take a day when we're in oregon uh
1:02:02
check those videos out and uh just go film off by myself for a while and so
1:02:10
to do you know four walks is four hours as opposed to two or three hours for the shorter
1:02:16
versions um but it's kind of nice as well to
1:02:22
have the luxury or the mandate to go for a full hour i hope you guys
1:02:29
[Music] oh the bridge is up let's go take a look at that that's kind of cool i didn't think that
1:02:35
it would be really operational but i guess i don't see why it wouldn't
1:02:40
looks like people are maybe coming off a boat let's go see if we can see it come down
1:02:50
maybe they were just watching it
1:03:10
and we're gonna hopefully make it down here
1:03:16
this might be a place to go see tour
1:03:28
boats there you go you can just barely see it coming back down to the bottom
1:03:43
that's pretty cool to see that old thing working still i wonder if it's automated or manual
1:03:51
let me know if you know uh and i think we're going to call it here at 64 minutes i want to thank you guys for
