We showed up on the doorstep slightly grungy from three days in Yosemite but Dianne's dog accepted us anyway and Dianne was also welcoming. The trundle bed was more comfortable than I could have imagined and there was fresh coffee and coffee cake in the morning. Dianne is a creative cook and has a fantastic garden that fills her backyard. There was an abundance of citrus fruit which she shared.
We also shared stories of our work and travels. Mountain View is perfect for a little retail hiking and we did our bit to support the local bookstore.
