[23:13] Walking for fun and fitness (and exhaustion)
We got a few e-mails from the lady who's going to take us on our rental tour tomorrow suggesting a couple of places to look at, in hindsight, she probably thought we had a vehicle of some description. We popped out to check them out and ended up doing a LOT of walking. I'm used to looking at maps in either kilometres or quarter-miles. Those mile-wide squares are quite deceptive!
Apart from the exhaustion, it was actually good to go for a trot through suburbia and see what it's like here. We saw a couple of parties in the park with some pinyatas. In the end, we only managed to check out one of the two places but whilst wandering down El Camino Real we found more Bubble Cups (yay!). We ended up at the mercy of public transport again (trying to catch the hourly Caltrain) on the way home - next thing after we find a house is to find a vehicle (we know where all the car-lots are now).
The Pollocks helped out again by inviting us over to dinner since we've got no food and no local shops to obtain any from (Great Mall only does clothing, machinery and assorted other homewares). They also had a couple of people from work around to help ease me in which was pretty cool.
