So today I got up the courage to ride my bike to Stanford. I’m not afraid of riding the bike. I’m just afraid of the drivers who might not SEE me riding my bike. Anyway, I found some neighborhood streets and bike paths to take and I made it there in about 25 minutes.
As I was settling down on a stone bench in a nice, secluded courtyard, I heard babbling children coming close. It turns out that when school is out on college campuses, kids attend summer camp there. I wasn’t really bothered by the kids, but it was a little unnerving when about thirty of them would walk by all at once. Still, I got to read my book, No Touch Monkey, and enjoy riding around the campus. The best part though was when I got back to the apartment, I went and jumped in the pool. It is usually too cool here to swim, but I was so hot that it didn’t matter. Besides, the water was at least 10 degrees warmer than Barton Springs, so I was fine.
Tonight, Danny and I checked out a local Indian food restaurant for dinner. We’ve been jonesing for some good old Indian food, buffet style, but were dismayed to learn that the restaurant we visited only has the dinner buffet on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday nights. How silly of us to expect a buffet dinner on a Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday! Anyway, we found some good food on the menu and chowed down. Afterwards, we met some of Danny’s coworkers for a late happy-hour gathering at the bar Nola near the Stanford campus. It was terribly trendy and really packed, so we wandered down to the the Blue Chalk Cafe which was much less crowded. I had a good time and met his coworker’s girlfriend who is also unemployed and wants to get together sometime and go sight-seeing.
