Journey to Gilroy

Our adventure streak is starting again. This time it's further away but apparently much easier to reach because it's just one straight road along the highway/freeway/parkway...whatever they call it. I don't know the difference. In Malaysia, we just call it highway, simple as that. Over here, they have freeways, parkways, expressways. Argh! Anyway, today the 2 of us headed off to Gilroy Premium Outlets which is situated in Gilroy, of course. I guess it's like a town or city. Premium Outlets is a huge open air area with lots of outlets/retail outlets such as Guess, Nike, Coach, Timberland and so on.

Places such as Greatmall and Gilroy offer cheaper prices. So, to get to Gilroy is like a 30 mile drive (30 minutes drive) but we got there..yes we got there with nothing but a car, a map and my handphone with a dead battery. There were about 4 huge blocks of buildings, we managed to cover 3 as it was too late to cover the last one because all shops close at 9pm. When we got to Gilroy it was almost 7pm. All in all, it was interesting and a different style of shopping center. Even the drive back to the hotel was smooth except that at one point, I turned into the wrong side of the road and I saw cars coming slowly towards me. I panicked, stopped and made turn to get back on the right direction. *Sheepish grin* That was scary. Our dinner tonight was Carl's Junior take-away and lights off to bed, ZZZzzz.
