We loved Tommy's place. It's a beautiful house situated in a garden filled with flowers and fruit trees. We didn't get a chance to feed the hens...but the variety of plants outside and inside Tommy'a house show all the love he has in his heart for the nature and his guests. At Tommy's suggestion, we had breakfast at Joanie's nearby and bought a full load of freshest and juiciest organic vegetable and fruits before we headed out to Yosemite. In the morning we toured Stanford's grand campus - it's so close by and that gave us abundant time to drive to SF to visit the Golden Gate Bridge. It all worked out very well. Such an oasis to stay when you are in Palo Alto.
