Thought of the day: We spent a couple of hours in Palo Alto's Rinconada Park this morning. The kids had a fun time playing in the shallow outdoor pool. The air was a bit chilly but the water was pretty warm. The pool facility was sufficient but outdated. I was surprised that it didn't have solar water heater installed as Palo Alto prides itself on being a green city. When I walk around the neighborhood, I can see a few green initiatives with my own eyes. Quite a few neighbors have a "Palo Alto Green" yard sign installed which indicates that they have signed up for using renewable energy for their electricity. A few major streets, including a segment of Arastradero Road, have been modified into one lane streets to discourage motor traffic and make room for bikers and pedestrians. Unfortunately much of the extra space on Arastradero has been taken over by parked cars which is unfortunate. Palo Alto has bike paths but they are not well connected yet. It looks like the city is moving toward the right direction and hopefully we will be able to bike around the city with ease in the near future.
