Palo Alto

Nothing brought the cross countryness of the trip home to me more than a visit to Palo Alto. I have driven on the streets around University Ave, so many times before. Think of that part of the world like a second home. Yet its always in rented cars or with friends / family. To be driving my own car on the familiar Bryant or Hamilton streets, was a true marker of being a long way from home.

The Apple store on University Avenue. The first retail store that I had ever seen. I bought Keya's iPod there on a previous visit.

Madison and Fifth? Those two streets don't intersect. But this restaurateur in suburban south Bay bliss, doesn't really care. Its the NY image that he is selling.


University Avenue, with holiday decorations still on the street.


The gallery with an Akhilesh work hanging in the front.


Looking at Keya from the outside.


Ayon has been asleep all the way from PCH.


Pacific touched, it was a race to Palo Alto. To get there within the opening hours of the Aicon branch there. In the end we were about fifteen minutes late. Oliver was very kind to stay on and let us in.
