Listen, my friends, as I tell of a land that is made up of valleys, mountains, and sand 

Where the ocean crashes not far from snow fall, and the sun shines bright in summer, spring, winter, and fall. 

It's a place where the cities

bustle with glee,

but there is also peace found

in quiet country.

Where harvests produce fresh

nuts and berries  

from almonds to oranges and sometimes even cherries

You can choose any view that you like

such as horizon or cityscape...

a bay full of bridges, a canyon, or a lake. 

And just like you're free to choose your view

know that you're also entitled to a yummy menu.

Tacos, salads, seafood bites,

all are available for your delight.

What is this place I speak of? Is it far?

Can you arrive by plane, by train, or by car?
