California - Day 1

This was our very unique amazing trip to California. It was great to hang out with friends for 10 days. It’s totally different world! Even if we were in USA felt like another planet and sometimes it gave a feel of Europe and India!! Trying to pen down most of the memories in this blog!!

Day 1 story!!
We started 5pm on Friday for 7:30 flight but flight was delayed by 2:30hrs so we explored the small airport. It was surprise to see two road brewery tap room which is our favorite beer! We both enjoyed the start of travel.




Mansi, Akhi and Abhinav came to pick us up. Our first ride in Tesla!! It was amazing, felt like sitting in ghost car!LOL

We kept talking till 4 and then went to GOOGLE office to drop the car for charging and GOOGLE quick peek! It was epic dawn :)

We came home and slept till 8 and couldn't stop ourselves to go out for walk. It was so different than Connecticut, it was great to see all the fruit trees in every year. We wanted to drink coffee now and found this Madras Cafe, what a treat. We called all of them to restaurant and had yummy breakfast.


We got real and went to pick up Abhinav from his table tennis. Kids wanted to have boba and Akhi Mansi took us to this awesome boba place where there were tons of flavors, this is true treat for them. We also explored chinese bakeries in that plaza and got some good stuff. 

After that we went to Soniya place. They have a cool house with lots of fruit trees. Saw figs in 100s and ate some too. They has persimmon, avocado, guava and orange trees.


Then we headed to Stanford University. It was astonishing to visit this legendary and beautiful university.

We had plan to go to Sybille and Pushpals house so went back and got real to drive there. Shri was driving Tesla first time, it was like race car :)

On the way I stopped at a store to buy wine. The lady in the store was very knowledgeable and gave really nice suggestions. Got really awesome wine for them.
We reached to Alameda and they both were waiting to go out to watch sunset with us. Again new beautiful island and beachside home, it was great.

The walk was pleasant. We came back and ate yummy dinner made by Pushpal and went to bed.
