Silicone (oops Silicon) Valley, Krispy Kreme and Dancing the Hustle

Slept in this morning before heading out to Erich's workplace in Silicon *edit* Valley to meet two more World of Warcraft guildmates, Kuroshiro (Sean) and Atoi (Matt). We then drove around Silicon *edit* Valley to see the headquarters of heaps of the big .com's Yahoo, Google, Symantec, Apple, Motorola and more. Somehow I managed to miss taking a photo of Apple at 1 Infinity Loop. Pretty funny :-D



On our drive around Krispy Kreme donuts came up in conversation (which I hadn't tried yet) so we stopped at a Krispy Kreme store where they had just started the production line which is behind a glass wall so patrons can watch the process. It was pretty cool and tasty!

Across the road we went to In and Out Burger, which has a total of three burgers on the menu, but is totally flexible. The food is very fresh, much more so than other burger-type restaurants.
We walked around the Oakridge mall which had some AWESOME stores with fantastic chess sets that I like a whole lot. I think we'll have to do some serious chess set shopping.
Dancing next, where I met even more World of Warcraft guild mates Mirshana (Mia), Jonah (Tigreth) and Erin (Irawyn). Dancing consisted of a lesson in Salsa and Rumba before a dance party which Erich had to DJ because the regular DJ was ill.
I didn't like the Rumba, but the Salsa was cool, and during the dance party I was also taught the Hustle by Erich which actually was the one I seem to be best at. Besides the huge dose of nerves before dancing, I had a whole lot of fun.

*Edits: as Sean points out in the comments, I typo'd Silicon. Honestly, I was going to look it up and check stuff, and the spell check didn't notice.. Its all Erich's fault....

It's actually Silicon Valley, I think Silicone Valley is in Las Vegas, or maybe Beverly Hills. ;)

See? Even she knows that everything is Erich's fault. Kudos Jo!
