Davis – the quintessential California college town

I’d been wanting to stop by Davis ever since moving to the Bay Area but was holding off in 2020 and 2021 with the assumption it might be lacking some vitality due to Covid impacts. I finally made it there yesterday on a beautiful sunny and breezy 80-degree (27C) day. I explored downtown, perused the popular Saturday Farmers Market, wandered around the UC Davis campus, and strolled through the gorgeous UC Davis arboretum. I always enjoy visiting college towns and this is one of the best I’ve visited!
