上午在Los Altos & Palo Alto。 中午去Nola見KB。 泊車在Ramona街的小車庫。 KB在Nola門外抓著一把小雨傘等我。 KB是在Facebook通過GX聯結到我的。 見麵才發現他倆其實也沒見過。 可能是GX的德國男友的圈裏的， 因為KB是德國人， 在O公司作工。
很有法式情調的特色餐廳。Nola - It all began with a walk down Bourbon Street - French Quarter - New Orleans...我點了Creole Shrimp - A NEW ORLEANS CLASSIC TRADITIONALLY SERVED ONLY ON FRIDAYS - EXCEPT AT NOLA! GULF SHRIMP SAUTEED WITH CRUSHED GARLIC, WHITE WINE, CREOLE SPICES AND ROASTED TOMATO SHRIMP STOCK WITH OUR PEARLY WHITE SCALLION BASMATI RICE

Palo Alto最忙碌的鄰家咖啡館。 絡繹不絕的人流。 點了一杯Caramel 味的哥式咖啡。
既然已在 downtown, 就索性去我鍾愛的 Stanford Shopping Center. 先去Gap Kids，買到Valentine豔紅的rain jacket和紅花的連身裙給女兒， 一條細紋條絨褲給兒子。 路過Banana Republic 給自己又撿到一件連身長sweater, 一件黑Cowlneck top， 一件Cancun turquoise Flutter-sleeve scoopneck top. 最後在Macy's 買了塑身Capri，在Bloomingdale's買了Clinique Repairwear Intensive Lip Treatment stick 得到一套贈禮。 回來送給媽媽這些禮物， 她開心極了。
回程上大雨磅礴，給大學時的幾位外州同學打電話索要那時的相片。 十多分鍾後到家， 雨也停了。
