After Filoli, we had a couple hours to kill before our concert. I decided to just get there early and park and then we’d catch up on texts, etc. until we could get in line for the concert.
As mentioned in a previous post, we discovered Adobe headquarters. Well, on the same road that the concert was, we discovered Google headquarters AKA Googleplex!
Ryan asked if we could stop, and since we were so early, I decided to go for it, although I was sure we’d have the same response as we did at Adobe. We parked the car and started walking. It’s clearly set up as a campus and many people were working alone or together outside. They had greeter kiosks and we were assured that although we could not enter the buildings or use the many Google bikes that were everywhere, we were welcome to walk the grounds as long as we want.
It was charming and delightful and a real highlight surprise of our little adventure.
Some FUN FACTS. Also, new employees/interns are called ‘Noogles’, and are given a multi-colored propeller hat to wear. We saw many of them throughout the campus.
