给妈妈的情人节礼物

(2009-02-14 03:20:47) 下一个

上午在Los Altos & Palo Alto 中午去NolaKB 泊车在Ramona街的小车库。 KBNola门外抓着一把小雨伞等我。 KB是在Facebook通过GX联结到我的。 见面才发现他俩其实也没见过。 可能是GX的德国男友的圈里的, 因为KB是德国人, O公司作工。

很有法式情调的特色餐厅。Nola - It all began with a walk down Bourbon Street - French Quarter - New Orleans...我点了Creole Shrimp - A NEW ORLEANS CLASSIC TRADITIONALLY SERVED ONLY ON FRIDAYS - EXCEPT AT NOLA! GULF SHRIMP SAUTEED WITH CRUSHED GARLIC, WHITE WINE, CREOLE SPICES AND ROASTED TOMATO SHRIMP STOCK WITH OUR PEARLY WHITE SCALLION BASMATI RICE

饭后,到对街去Coupa Cafe: the flagship store for Arabica Coffee Company in the U.S. featuringits own brand of the finest single estate grown coffee from Venezuela. Located in an historical building in Palo Alto, Coupa Cafe offers a wonderful environment to enjoy its exquisite single estate gourmet coffee featuring specific estates as well as the house blend. Aside from the coffee, Coupa Caf is the exclusive representative in northern California of Chuao Chocolatier, and offers their Chocolates made from Venezuelan cacao produced by Chocolates El Rey in Venezuela. Coupa Cafe also offers traditional Venezuelan white cornmeal griddle cakes called arepas, filled with different savory products. It completes its food offerings with breakfast pastries, French pastries, crepes, salads, panini and other gourmet foods, as well as offering beer and wine to its clients. For the first time in the U.S., coffee lovers will be able to savor the exquisite flavor and aroma of Coupa Cafe through its outstanding blend and the wide selection of the single estate grown Venezuelan coffee.

Palo Alto最忙碌的邻家咖啡馆。 络绎不绝的人流。 点了一杯Caramel 味的哥式咖啡。

既然已在 downtown, 就索性去我钟爱的 Stanford Shopping Center.  先去Gap Kids买到Valentine艳红的rain jacket和红花的连身裙给女儿, 一条细纹条绒裤给儿子。 路过Banana Republic 给自己又捡到一件连身长sweater, 一件黑Cowlneck top 一件Cancun turquoise Flutter-sleeve scoopneck top.   最后在Macy's 买了塑身Capri,在Bloomingdale's买了Clinique Repairwear Intensive Lip Treatment stick 得到一套赠礼。 回来送给妈妈这些礼物, 她开心极了。

回程上大雨磅礴,给大学时的几位外州同学打电话索要那时的相片。 十多分钟后到家, 雨也停了。
