Robots and Pepperoni Pizza

Thursday, 27 Aug 2009
 

computer-hist-musWe felt like we were on the set of a 1960s Sci-Fi movie!  The Computer History Museum has artifacts dating back 3000 years up to the modern iPod, but some of the crowd favorites were the 1969 “Kitchen Computer” which was advertised for $10,000.00 in the Neiman Marcus catalog and the adorable little robot that looks like R2-D2’s cousin. Did you know that the first computer was designed over 150 years ago? It’s true. Imagine a calculator that weighs 5 tons, or maybe you should just go see it in person. The information age is being preserved right here in Mountain View! After visiting the museum, walk across Pear Street to Pizzeria Venti. It’s at the end of a small row of shops. They have pleasant patio seating and the inside is spectacular with Italian music softly playing and a mouth-watering selection of pizzas and red wines. We hear that the Mango Salad is a local favorite. pizzaria-ventiThis place is popular with the concert crowds on their way to a show and perfect for dinner before a movie. You have our word—you will not be disappointed!
