Introducing Palo Alto
Palo Alto is home to Stanford University. If it doesn’t feel like your average college town, that’d be because this is also the northern extent of Silicon Valley.

Hewlett-Packard and Sun Microsystems are headquartered in Palo Alto. The quaint town exudes that relaxed California affluence characterized by BMW convertibles and expensive sandals.
