My silicon valley experience

Yesterday we wanted to do a cream crawl. It can be compared to a pub crawl only that you go from one creamery to the next and have milk shakes instead of going from pub to pub and have booze. Our trip started at the Peninsula Creamery on Channing and High street. Here I had a chocolate shake and Ana had a strawberry shake. I was surprised how creamy the shake actually was. Much creamier than a shake I had at the cinema tonight. Also the chocolate taste was nice and strong. The place looks really traditional and you can see that it is from 1923. It has that certain charm to it.

The cream crawl was supposed to cover all three creameries that we found in Palo Alto using google earth. But we were so filled up from this one shake that we went to the Apple store and borders instead. We hoped to be able to drink another one after that but I actually felt nauseous because the first one was too much and I drank it too fast. But at least we saw the Mac Air this way. Which was really amazingly thin and had a nice design

So today I had my WST (writing skill test) after which was very good. I was a little short in time because I am a very slow reader (in every language) but it was very good anyway. When I came home from the test we jumped into the car immediately sine we wanted to have lunch at the famous Buck’s restaurant. The main reason why we wanted to go there is because it’s famous for being a place were a lot of important deals of the silicon valleys history had been made. And I have to say it is a really remarkable restaurant. The room is stuffed with all kind of interesting, odd, old decoration. An astronauts suit is hanging from the ceiling together with winged horses, an old anaconda snake skin is on the wall and a big submarine model is separating different sections of the room. The walls are completely covered in odd things like that. So much about the look but how is the food? - Food was just awesome. We had a BBQ burger with coleslaw and crab with Cheddar on sour dough with french fries and fruits. The fries were the best fries I’ve ever had. Seriously! The crab with the bread was just amazing. You didn’t taste the crab a lot but it was jut fabulous. The burger was nice and moist and had really crispy fried onions on it. Lots of those! Very nice. So even if you are not a VC or wanting to meet with one you should absolutely go to Buck’s restaurant. If you are looking for good American food Buck’s is a great decision even if it’s only to experience the interesting location!
