Peter and his family went out of their ways to make my stay as comfy as possible. Really a great experience. Peter picked me up at San Antonio CalTrain Station in the middle of his workday, gave me a lift home and showed me around - and gave me the tip about the great food truck festival that is just around the corner every Monday. They provided me with a bike that I could use for commuting to Stanford along a beautiful bike path - it was a joy to ride every morning. And I could take it to the city aka San Francisco to explore there - just a great experience. We often had very interesting and profound conversations in the evenings after about pretty much everything - from daily gossip to rocket science (literally). This was just perfect to clear the mind after long days of archival research at Stanford. Just such interesting people and I think we mutually learnt a lot from each other.
Peter and his family also welcomed with open arms some friends who wanted to spend a night or two in Palo Alto and helped us set up a bed and all. Just great.
I really felt at home there and was very sad when I had to leave. Thank you Peter, Lisa, and Jenny, good ol' cat Boo and all the turtles for such an amazing time! I really appreciated it!
