A visit to downtown Saratoga


My morning walk was quite early and I met many commuters on their way to work. Only half a mile of my morning walk is on a through road and 8 cars passed me of which 7 were Tesla’s plus many of the driveways had Tesla’s parked still.

On my return from the walk Fraser had his usual Thursday morning visit from his friend David who works at Apple as a programmer. His Porsche is 2 years old and was imported from Germany at a total cost of $230,000. It’s a different world out here.


At 11.00am the cleaners were due to start work in the house so we booked an Uber to downtown Saratoga to have Coffee and a Light lunch at Big Basin Cafe. 2 coffees and 2 sandwiches cost £25 but it was lovely sitting outside watching the world go by.

There were flowers everywhere 

The Main Street was very quiet, but it comes alive in the evening as there are loads of cafes and restaurants. We then visited a craft brewery to buy some beer for Fraser and Leslie and another Uber took us back home. Saratoga is such a beautiful small town with a wide Main Street and lots of places to sit out and watch the world go by.
