If you look at the map below you can see, that the whole bay area is one big settlement with millions of people living here between San Francisco and San Jose. Knowing this makes it really surprising that the small stripe of hills between Silicon Valley and the Cost of the Pacific gives home so many animals.

Which are surprisingly domesticated. Yesterday afternoon we took a little walk in
Rancho San Antonio. This county park is about 15 minutes away by car from our home. Children were using the trails as running tracks in their afternoon gym class, elderly people were walking and on the trail there's even a small farm with animals (cow, sheep, pig, chicken, rabbit). From the vista point on the top of the hill you can see the whole Sillicon Valley, which seems surprisingly green (as you can see on the picture below) from this angle.
But the best part was that we saw many wild animals spending their afternoon next to the trail without minding people walking by. Well, I know that in the hills in Hungary there're deers, foxes and other animals living, but I never had such an experience. And here with a park so close to the highway and people these deers seem to be domesticated (but they're not).
