yesterday susie and i took a nice stroll around palo alto downtown. so much has changed around since i left palo alto about eight years ago. two of my old favorite restaurants have been gone from this area. it seems like the downtown has cleaned up more and made the place look more welcoming for tourists to come. lots of cool stores around there, especially this one:
it looks like as if the downtown has gone more friendly to designers than before. there are more design offices around there as well as venture offices, too.
anyway, it's likely that we will take off for bishop/death valley this monday after my aunt arrives here tmw from south carolina. my parents wanted me to stay till i see her. family quality time, i guess. ;-)
