It's fun to compare the old technology to what we have now.

We are also known for the renowned Stanford University. We spend a lot of time here on the weekends because my niece is a student there. The campus is beautiful especially if you want to just enjoy a walk and take in the scenic views.

We have tons of restaurants. Some of my favorites are Three Brothers Tacos on University Ave because the tacos are fresh and authentic. I also love Emmanuel's Pizza. They are known for their big slices. You can probably find a variety of restaurants near Stanford that will suit your taste. Read Less
