Travel Tips

I would agree with the others about going rafting and to the California State Fair. In addition, you can go to:

-the water park located at the fair grounds
-IMAX movie theater
-Apple Hill (about 45 minutes away from Sac)
-Old Town Sac
-Minor League Baseball game (if playing in Aug)
-Basketball game (if playing in Aug)
-Scandia Family Fun Center

oh, it is a very fun, diverse area of california. check out the american river and do some river rafting. tons of places that offer that.
plus, there are some very nice restaurants and if you are going in august, there should be lots of outdoor summer fairs going on. sacramento is surrounded by many smaller towns, orangevale, rocklin, el dorado hills, roseville, etc. lots to do. plus, you will only be about one hour's drive from the old gold mining camps. go to placerville and take an old mine tour. pan for gold in the rivers and streams. have fun!
lots of water sports too, such as water skiing, jetskis.
i have family in sac.
My first suggestion is to bring summer clothes. It is not unusual for the temp. to be in the upper 90's to the low 100's.

Now for something fun to do.....Go to the California State Fair. It is a great way to learn about the State, and the American way of life in General. I'm pretty sure a deep fried Twinkie is pretty hard to find in Italy.

Enjoy your stay.
Well, you can learn a lot of history in Sacramento. It was the western end of the transcontinental railroad, and the Pony express. It's pretty close to the 1848 gold discovery sight that set off the Gold Rush.

The California State Fair is the last two weeks in August. Dress for extreme heat though, it's going to be HOT.

Rafting down the American River from Sunrise bridge to Goete park is very popular, going to Old Sacramento, bicycling the trails, clubbing, the local naturist resort, lots of good restaurants and shopping.

Pick-up copies of the Sacramento Bee and the Sacramento News and Review for good ideas on what is going on.
Hot August Nights! If you have access to a car while you're out here, you might want to take the drive to Reno for Hot August Nights. THat is, if you're into classic and show cars and such.

Otherwise, if you're only 20 years old, there's lots to do. Raging Waters (waterslide park) at Cal Expo, lots of diverse night clubs, visit the malls, river rafting, and the State Fair.

HOpe you have fun!
