Colorful San Jose...

After dinner, we took a long walk to check out the urban art. Here are many of the murals that we spotted while walking around San Jose. Of course, this one of George Floyd was very powerful. 

These murals featuring girls were quite sweet.

This one was quite poignant, clearly referring to immigrants trying to reach the shores for asylum: Will our boat ever land?

These two photos are from one very large 140-foot long mural on the wall outside the Lido nightclub, funded partially by the nightclub as well as asset forfeitures obtained by the District Attorney’s office. Phylum of the Free, by an artist who teaches at UC Santa Cruz, underscores the contrast between Silicon Valley and the natural beauty of the world. 

These last few murals were particularly colorful. I was so happy to end my trip by spending time with Darlene and Mike.
