A Pleasant Evening

Its been about 5 days since I moved to Mountain View downtown. I didn't get much time to explore the neighborhood, as its already dark by the time i get back from work. In the daytime the area rocks, with a line of fine dining restaurants, coffee shops, beautiful parks & neighborhood. Other than a short walk in the night at 10:30 on Tuesday, i didnt do anything else in the area in the past 5 days. Today i got back from work and there was still light outside. I walked to the public Library, right across the street. Its a 2 story building with a wide variety of movies, books & magazines. I was pleasantly surprised to see issues of India Today and a couple of other Indian magazines. I actually picked a few of them & got them home. There is a nice park behind the Library. The area had a campus like ambiance, with students, elders glued to the computers, or studying in the library, relaxing in the park. It was very refreshing to walk around, its quite a luxury to live right across the library, it can hugely impact your hobbies :-)

Lucky you :) - the flip side is having so many good restaurants around...less motivation to cook :P
