Lunch in Mountain View - Einar and BlakeLunch in Mountain View - Einar and BlakeLunch in Mountain View - Einar and Blake

My brother Einar(a law student) and Blake, the company attorney, discussing technical matters.
This was gonna be the first day of our great tour of the western USA. We were planning to head south first, going to LA, then forge on into Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada and then back to California.

We were planning on starting early, going from Mountain View to LA. Well, lets just say that didn't work out. For various reasons we were delayed, among other things, Tom invited us to yet another great lunch. Me, my brother Einar, my friend Oyvind and Tom were joined by Blake, the company lawyer.

We had a lovely lunch at the chinese place on Castro in MV. We finally headed out about 15.00, and headed south towards the coast. We arrived at Big Sur in order to catch the sunset. We also caught a glimpse of some gray whale, Eschrichtius robustus, as the sun set.

We then pressed on, and just stopped briefly for a night snack in Beverly Hills, where we stopped at a Jack in the Box. We then headed to Chinatown to the hotel, arriving shortly before midnight. The hotel was OK, but not superb.
