✍️ A Personal NoteCalifornia holds a special place in my memories from my years as a tour director. I led many journeys through the state, from Los Angeles and San Francisco to the Pacific Coast and some of California's remarkable natural landscapes.What always impressed me was the variety. Within one state, the scenery, climate, cities, and atmosphere can change dramatically. Many of those experiences and impressions eventually found their way into California Trivia.
