Day 3: Silicon Valley
20 09 2011Normal travellers probably wouldn’t even think about leaving San Francisco while staying there just 3 nights, but geeks like we couldn’t resist visiting Silicon Valley which is just about 60km away!
Firstly we went to the Intel Museum presenting the history of this company and computers in general (focusing on Intel Chips, of course 
). You could even sent an e-card with greetings mentioning Moore’s law (which we’ve obviously did!
). and buy Intel i5 chip earrings for 200$ (which we’ve obviously did not… ).
Our next destination was Facebook where we’ve met Damian, Czarek’s roommate from Warsaw who was doing internship there. We’ve spent nice time visiting the buildings, eating free lunch and writing on the (real!) facebook wall
.
By the way we visited the Stanford University Campus which was just few blocks away. To be honest, it wasn’t bad, but University of Washington’s Campus in Seattle is nicer .
It was already hot…
and our AC didn’t give up, so didn’t we!
We continued our trip and went to the Google headquarters in Mountain View, Microsoft division which was near there and Apple in Cupertino located at loop-shaped street with fancy name “Infinite Loop” . Only IT company could come up with this kind of name;P
After whole day in Silicon Valley we speeded back to SF to see the Golden Gate bridge before the sunset, we left this must-see at the very end…
And we were there on time!
Hope you guys stayed overnight in san francisco to see the bridge and the city during the day:) its on of the best cities in the US
We stayed 3 nights there, visited a lot of places in the city, but bridge.. only slightly before the sunset (it was a bit lighter than its shown on the photos though
). A brilliant piece of engineering
