Modesto is where my boyfriend’s parents live. We visit them whenever we can, about once every month or so, whenever we get time off from our busy lives at work. It’s nothing special of a city, it doesn’t smell to great, but its a nice break from the hustle and bustle of busy Los Angeles. It’s a lot more quiet, and I like that. Its also pretty close to Berkeley and San Francisco, and that’s cool. If you’re visiting somebody there or are there for some event its cool, but other than that, there’s not much to do, so it’s just an average town with the most unfit people in the united states. It gets way too hot in summer too.
