This was my first visit to Google’s Mountain View offices. My friend Mauricio Poppe invited me, and I was happy to see one of the places that is very important in software and the web.

I did not take many pictures. It was more of a walk around the campus than a photo session, but the visit stayed in my memory.

The campus felt familiar and new at the same time. Familiar because Google is part of daily life for many people who work with technology. New because being there in person made the size of the company feel more real.

I am glad Mauricio invited me. It was a short visit, but it gave me a chance to see another important place in Silicon Valley and add one more memory from that trip.
