Breakfast at Google

The groom, my favorite nephew, Earthling, invited us to tour Google and have breakfast there this morning. What a thrill. We are all such geeks; being in Cupertino is just so much fun. Even Mom raved at the good breakfast available at Google, and . . . at the HEATED toilet seats in the ladies room!

  5. Thanks for the Photos, please post more, and I don’t want to burden you but if you are still in Cupertino, pass by Apple and see what they are going to release next.

  6. Ansam – Google allows photos anywhere outside, but don’t like a lot of photos taken inside.

    Sorry, Purg, we were too busy eating. Everything was fresh fresh fresh, and you could eat what you wanted.

    N. – it was more like a 3D poster of book shelves.

    ShoSho – You are so smart – they discourage. My nephew could take photos for me, but I didn’t want to ask.

    Apple campus is just up the street, DV, and my son says there is a badly kept secret about the next gen iPhone.

  11. whaaat, I want 😦

    I was *this* close —> | |
    to heading to Cupertino, but the stars weren’t aligned. I had no idea Google gave tours?!

    Damn it, I think it’s time to check the job opportunities over there again. It’s like Amazon shopping, but you’re shopping for jobs heh. I’m serious, there’s “Add to Cart!”

    Glad you’re enjoying it πŸ™‚ I’ll be asking for tips on where to go if I ever make it there.

  13. Oh WOW! I am glad you had a great time! It’s like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory… except this is – the Internet Factory!

    Just wait until you have children, Shaymaa, and oh, how we wished for an operating manual!
