上午在Los Altos & Palo Alto。 中午去Nola见KB。 泊车在Ramona街的小车库。 KB在Nola门外抓着一把小雨伞等我。 KB是在Facebook通过GX联结到我的。 见面才发现他俩其实也没见过。 可能是GX的德国男友的圈里的， 因为KB是德国人， 在O公司作工。
很有法式情调的特色餐厅。Nola - It all began with a walk down Bourbon Street - French Quarter - New Orleans...我点了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最忙碌的邻家咖啡馆。 络绎不绝的人流。 点了一杯Caramel 味的哥式咖啡。
既然已在 downtown, 就索性去我钟爱的 Stanford Shopping Center. 先去Gap Kids，买到Valentine艳红的rain jacket和红花的连身裙给女儿， 一条细纹条绒裤给儿子。 路过Banana Republic 给自己又捡到一件连身长sweater, 一件黑Cowlneck top， 一件Cancun turquoise Flutter-sleeve scoopneck top. 最后在Macy's 买了塑身Capri，在Bloomingdale's买了Clinique Repairwear Intensive Lip Treatment stick 得到一套赠礼。 回来送给妈妈这些礼物， 她开心极了。
回程上大雨磅礴，给大学时的几位外州同学打电话索要那时的相片。 十多分钟后到家， 雨也停了。
