The 2nd day

Hello everyone, Today was a great day. I got my much need rest after our six hour flight to California. I had nice breakfast to Start the day. We then went to the HP garage is the birthplace of Silicon Valley and where HP started. The first Company we went to was Survey Monkey. We met a nice women that worked in HR for Survey Monkey she was the one that helped planned everything for our visit. We got to talked to recent college graduates that all went to school in the east coast. They talked about their work and internship experiences. What I found interesting was the work environment because they talked about how you go to someone in another department if you had question about anything and they would be happy to help you. They also talked about how there are a lot of smart people in Survey Monkey but they don't compete with each other to see who is the smartest they use their intelligence to help their fellow co-workers. We also got to have a nice lunch their and then we toured building and got see, some offices, a gaming area, a gym, a place to bring your kids, and ect. During the end of our tour most of us met another worker their and when left we found out he was the CEO of Survey Monkey. The next we place went to was the Intel Museum and our tour guide gave  us a lot of information about Intel's processors. The last place we visited was Microsoft their I got to try the HoloLens. The HoloLens looks like a pair of glass that allows you to see holograms. when using the HoloLens you can still see the area and surroundings that are around you. At the end of the day me and a couple people went to a food truck across the street and got something to eat and finished the day by going swimming.
