    Ah San Jose, the Big Brother of Santa Clara and Sunnyvale. I got my first ticket in San Jose in 1959, They caught me riding my bicycle on the wrong side of the highway :) Thank you for all the good memories you produce.

    San Jose is definitely one of places to visit when I come over from London. It had caught my interest even more recently when a famous Indian/Hindu warrior's statue called Shivaji was stolen from Guadalupe River Park there and fortunately found a few days later .Now with this video I more interesting places I will see when i get over

I've only hung out in San Jose twice for work conferences. I'm pleasantly surprised by the amount of museums. And that pizza is going on my list 4 sure! 🎉

    I live your channel, not to get political but there are a lot of entities that try to undermine California as a whole but they never talk about the true beauty of California and all the mixed cultures that come along with it.
    You are do a great job showing the world the true California.

    Pops is a fun addition to your videos but having your lovely wife and beautiful twins is absolutely amazing also. Really appreciate the wide spectrum of adventure potpourri that you bring to both channels. Pizza looked tasty and our son Teddy likes to give me back food he doesn’t want in interesting ways as well.

    When I saw the video was about San Jose, the first thing I thought of was Falafel Drive In. Great food! I’m not surprised you didn’t include the Winchester House as it’s not the best place for young kids. But I know it’s super close to the restaurant.

    Sorry you came at a bad time for the Rose Garden. I live 2 blocks away and it’s truly spectacular. Peak is ~May, but generally great April-September or later. Feel free to reach out for contact info if you ever want to check with me the current condition of it (or to send you in-bloom footage).

    I think San Jose looks easier to get around and safer than current day San Francisco for a family. I would recommend the attractions in Toronto & Ottawa / Gatineau for family/ kid friendly museums, make sure to get the CityPass to save on time & money. I might have seen some of the same Egyptian artifacts in Chicago, Stockholm and Gatineau. If you visit Toronto in the summer you can save on parking & lodging by staying at the University dorms, its actually cheaper than camping.

    HeyJosh, can you take us to downtown San Francisco, they say it’s deteriorating and getting very dangerous, spent many times in S.F. But it’s been several years, would love to go back this year but the internet gives me doubts.

      I was there in Oct and again in April. The safest places to stay are just outside and inside China Town and paying for a parking garage. Garage parking since Covid is costly about 60 per day but worth it for a garage with security as auto theft rose during Covid. Walking around China Town, Coit Tower is safe. Uber is a great idea for other parts of the city.
