midnight wanderings in san jose

just landed in san jose and the sky is playing tricks on me i just checked and it's...a crisp breeze right now, hope you like that kind of thing if you get restless, neighboring towns are just a short drive away someone told me that the old bakery on main street still serves the best croissant at midnight

*coffee shops line the corner and the sunset over the river feels oddly quiet tonight

Mountain bikers ride on a grassy trail.

checked out TripAdvisor for hidden spots, read a Yelp thread about the night market, and bookmarked a local board thread on CityLocal about weekend gigs

the vibe here is weirdly
calm yet humming with energy* if you ask the locals
