| side of the road and walked to the garage which if I remember
| wasn't too far off the road. Peering in the windows I could see
| plush Google toys and a few interesting posters on the walls.
| Took a couple of pictures and left, I don't think I was there
| five minutes. The Wojcicki house was if I remember a couple of
| hundred yards further back.
|
| As I was walking back towards the road two other guys were
| walking in. I am told that shortly afterwards Google bought the
| house with eventual plans to make a museum out of the garage but
| to my knowledge it never has happened.

| phrase. Ouch. RIP.
