On Day 3, David brought me out to Los Gatos for dinner. Fell in love with Los Gatos on first sight. Los Gatos is the definition of a pretty little town center. Perfect blue gradient sky, breezy weather, rustic shop houses lining the road, complete with trees decorated with fairy lights. La La Land in real life. We dined outdoors at Steamer's Grillhouse which served up fantastic food. We had two entrees, two sides and one chocolate dessert. This happened so long ago I can't quite remember what we ordered, but I'm pretty sure that there was braised short ribs, crispy calamari, and a fish entree. The service was great and I finished the meal stuffed to the brim. Dave let me drive his manual drive convertible around the town too, though I wouldn't have done so if I were him. I am so out of practice driving a manual shift car, and the convertible's clutch was not easy to master. Plus I was 100% confused driving on the right hand side of the road. Stalled the car and turned into opposing traffic plenty of times. Still, it was fun, and I'm thankful that work has brought many people into my life that have turned out to be great friends. When the gradient blue skies are so clear, the moon is visible by 5pm. Mountains of Silicon Valley makes for beautiful daily commute scenes. Natural lighting at the Corporate Inn Sunnyvale lobby. The rooms in this hotel were huge, more like a serviced apartment than a hotel room. Sight-seeing around Santana Row before heading to the airport. I love walking down this district, and I try to come here every time I'm in Santa Clara. It has an old-world, European aesthetic, you get to bask in the sunny blue skies, and there's a Tesla Showroom, Sephora and Amazon shop here. Petrol kiosk basking in the blue hour sunlight. I remember feeling amazed when I stepped out of the car, amazed that the place looked exactly like a blue tinted melancholic scene in one of those arthouse movies. I used to wonder where did these creatives get their inspiration from. At that moment I realized it all came from life.
