Silicon Valley and Stanford

The Sunday we went on a bike trip to Palo Alto and visited the donkey who was apparently the model for the donkey in Shrek. The Pixar headquarters are near by - I say, Silicon Valley... We went to dine in "the best south Indian food restaurant" in the area. Iddly and Dosa really were delicious. I felt just a little odd cause I was actually the only non-indian person in the whole place! And I was there with 5 other Indians.

The next day I went to see the Frida Kahlo exhibition in the San Francisco MOMA. There was also another one, an exhibition about Lee Miller, a really interesting woman with more than one career in her life. She was beautiful, changed from model to photographer to war journalist to cook. I was in Stanford on Tuesday - the grounds and building live up to what the name suggests. It's worth a visit. I spent lots of time in the bookstore, and in the philosophy department, because I met up with a friend from my years in Lueneburg and his wife. I used to be Donovans 'buddy" on the exchange program. His kid Dyllan was too cute. We ran around the campus following his every step.
