Day 3 in Silicon Valley

Today was an eventful day.

First we went to see Guy Kawasaki. It was one of my favorite meetings so far. It was so casual and just like a real conversation, unlike the other ones which were more lecture like. Plus, he was inspiring as how college students are oftentimes the best at creating businesses because they do not have the bad habits of the executives.

Then we had a Mediterranean lunch with Sharlene Lee. I had chicken kabobs with feta cheese and pickled onions. It was interesting to hear how she "compromised" business life to have children and how she is still successful.

Then we went on an impromptu hike to Stanford. Although it was really cool, we have sore feet from wearing dress shoes. I had to go out and buy more band-aids, but now everything is going well.

After our hike, we headed to the grocery store and then Tesla Motors. If I had $120,000 to spare, that was one cool totally battery powered sports car. Pictures to come...

Then we headed out to an Indian food dinner with Craig Cornelius. It was wonderful. I had curry chicken and another yummy chicken that I can't pronounce. It was really interesting to talk to this Luther alum (and previous Luther prof) who now works at Google. He is super social and it made it really easy to talk to him. (We are seeing him tomorrow).

After another impromptu run to the grocery store (for band-aids and cortisone cream) we are having social time in our hotel room.
