The Villages Travel Guide

San Jose

The sky is so blue, the grass so green, and the weather is perfect with no humidity. This area is one to sit outside and enjoy the weather with a cup of tea or coffee. It's perfect to watch the sun set and the geese or ducks swimming in the lake. And, I suppose, if you're up for it -- the golf course is pretty good too.
