After two long flights (Zurich – Atlanta, Atlanta – San Francisco) I finally arrived exhausted in SFO where Amanda was waiting for me in our “new” car. Amanda’s parents kindly gave us their “old” red Volvo 850 which is the perfect car for us (today we just used it to carry three mountain bikes – they fit!).

Our apartment has 2 rooms (bedroom and living room) – the right size for us. We also have a patio that is big enough for us to eat with two friends. It’s great!

Palo Alto is really nice, Stanford campus is even nicer! The main street in Palo Alto is called University Avenue. On both sides of the street there are mostly nice little restaurants and Apple Stores (the new iPhone is awesome, I can’t believe it!). It’s the first time I see such large side walks for pedestrians in the US – I missed that everywhere else. There are also nice trees along the street. If you go west on University Avenue you will enter Stanford Campus where the street changes name and becomes Palm drive. That comes from the fact that there are huge palm trees on each side of the road. I tell you, Stanford is vacation all year long!

The weather is nice every day. It’s unbelievable!

I think you get it: I’m doing fine. Amanda says hi! I hope you are booking flights to come see us!
