Things to Do
Palo Alto
There are lots of fun things to do in Palo Alto. Unless otherwise noted, everything is within a 1-mile walk of the hotel. Here are a few of our favorites:

[Shopping]
[Other Fun Stuff]
Shopping
Stanford Shopping Center
Regardless of what kind of shopping you like, the Stanford Shopping Center is worth a visit. This open-air mall is located a block from the Sheraton. It has lots of great upscale stores and is accented by beautiful gardens. Try a sweet at the bakery in the center of the mall, or grab a bite at Max's Opera Café where the wait staff sings after taking your order. Sigona's Farmers Market offers fresh produce if you're tired of restaurant food.
Window Shopping Downtown
You can easily spend 2 hours trolling downtown and significantly more time if you actually go in the stores. Some of my favorite stores are:
Domus (fun things for the house):
University between Ramona and Hamilton
Borders Books (in a converted 1930s movie theater):
University between Waverly and Cowper
Apple (computer toys!):
A very cool retail Apple store
University between Kipling and Cowper
Pacific Art League (local artists all the time):
Ramona between Hamilton and Forrest
Diddams (random party stuff, tons of fun to wander around in):
Hamilton between Ramona and Emerson
Movie Memories (random movie related junk):
Waverly between University and Hamilton
The Bead Shop (make your own jewelry):
Emerson at University
