The next morning, I had the first of 3 breakfasts at Hobbee's with Kai Li
who ordered this coffee cake
to go with my BDBIT
all nicely brought by Rey
our waiter. After a long breakfast, I made my way past the swimming pool at The Westin
and past the falling roof
of the building next door to get back to my room and get ready to drive down the peninsula to my next meeting. I was early, so I stopped at the Java Street Cafe
where I had this simple meal
and then captured this fine hand washing sign for my collection (Chineese translates as "maintain public sanitation, please wash hands often").
Next I drove across the street to Network Appliances where they had the big logo sign
and the smaller one
to tell me that I was in the right place. Dan Warmenhoven brought his lunch
to accompany me with my lunch
which was more liquid.
Back at the hotel, I ran into Jacobo and we drove out to Princeton-by-the-Sea where we saw this picture
for my collection of MezzaLuna restaurant signs and this close up of the restaurant
and this view of the Princeton Inn
which is not in New Jersey. We drove down Harvard street
past the intersection with Columbia
and parked for a walk on the beach by this grafitti
of little endorsement. Having no dog, we had no need for Mutt Mitts
but appreciated that others were using them. The walk on the beach and view out over the waves breaking near the rocks were so beautiful that I forgot to take pictures which is just as well since the combination of clouds and waves would have made for very white images. After a visit to the facilities which are not being cleaned once per week for 10 employees (thank me for not providing the picture to prove it)
we headed back up to Woodside for dinner at the Woodside Bakery and Cafe
which is adjacent to Buck's. The menu offered great choices
and they brought this nicely baked bread
for which Jacobo made an oil and vinegar mixture
to help us decide that Jacobo should have the calzone
and I should have the pizza
nicely delivered by this waitperson
team. All this made Jacobo very happy
but not nearly as happy as he would be after we went to Fry's
and he got to show me all of my options for when I decide to finally build my own machine part by part.
