Shopping at Gilroy!

Couple of our colleagues from India are here and we went around to do 
some shopping at Gilroy. We started off in Fremont after lunch at
Shalimar restaurant around 1:30 pm. Gilroy was around 1 hr drive
(around 12 miles on I880 and 40 miles on 101). One friend wanted
to buy shoes, so we went around almost all the shoe shops there
like Nike, Adidas, Reebok and couple of others. Adidas shoes were
good, but expensive. Reebok shoes were the ones which we liked
and with the offer they had, they were coming around for 30 bucks.

While we were there, we did some other shopping at van huesen
and window-shopping at other stores. The Bose showroom was
impressive and audio headphones were pretty effective - cost
was little bit high though. Philips 50" Plasma TV was good 
- don't ask the price :-) 

One shocking thing that happened during the trip was that when
we were driving on 101 to Gilroy, we suddenly saw one car going 
at more then 110 mph and was doing cuts and disappeared in couple
of seconds. It was like watching a video game... Not sure what 
exactly that driver was trying to achieve by going at that speed...
