Hi everyone, two weeks ago I went to San Francisco to meet GCI 2016 Winners/Mentors! I had the chance to go in the same flight as Cristian (15 hours of flight!), so basically I did not went alone :) So let me tell everything we did :) Ah, before I continue, I'm not good at writing :P On the first day, we walked to the Google Offices, had some food and gifts :) Winners got an awesome Pixel phone! After that we all walked back to the hotel, and I suppose, we all went to sleep :P. Next day we went to Google Headquarters in Mountain View, we had a lot of talks this day, talks, food, talks, more food, talks! That day Chris DiBona gave the prizes to the winners. We later had a group photo (Cristian, Tymon and I), and I could not ask for a selfie! Cristian and Chris: http://people.sugarlabs.org/ignacio/pi/A2rhLrij4qTMfzs+ DjmE.jpg Cristian and me: http://people.sugarlabs.org/ignacio/pi/ H4xMoEHfRFZoTsPqTG8c.jpg Tymon and Chris: http://people.sugarlabs.org/ignacio/pi/ uXFYl81YyxpAhlkHuG5d.jpg Cristian, Tymon and me (my selfie): http://people.sugarlabs.org/ignacio/pi/ sPnQBIIbpMlmzzCaagut.jpg Cristian, Tymon and me: http://people.sugarlabs.org/ignacio/pi/ XLxYR2AWT1QLR6S64ubI.jpg (I love selfies btw). Students had lunch with Googlers from their countries, Cristian and I got to meet Diego, an Uruguayan Googler :). Later that day we all went back to the hotel, and I invited Tymon&Cristian to come to my room, and eat some snacks/walk all over the hotel :P And guess, we took selfies :) You can see all of them here: http://people.sugarlabs.org/ignacio/pi/gci2016/ Next day we went to Alcatraz, we got to eat in a restaurant (or it looked like, I don't remember the name), to later take a bus and go to the Golden Gate bridge, were I was able to take some pictures as well, here's one: http://people.sugarlabs.org/ignacio/pi/DbNJ+UPFqMSf6YATmA44.jpg :) After that we went to a yacht where we spent 2 hours or so, having fun :) I talked a lot with the other orgs mentors and took some photos as well! http://people.sugarlabs.org/ignacio/pi/BQhZVuA9ZoAgR6wBW0cz.jpg http://people.sugarlabs.org/ignacio/pi/sJWVZRjUQeHZrt9txhcP.jpg Once again, after that activity we all went to the hotel. Cristian, his mom and I went to walk outside :) We got some pictures with the Google San Francisco sign Cristian: http://people.sugarlabs.org/ignacio/pi/i2sG0SCLOTzrxuC75XP9.jpg Me: http://people.sugarlabs.org/ignacio/pi/b2cgFBBoZYqiblDZIspr.jpg Then, we went to the hotel. Next, and last day, we walked to Google San francisco offices again, where few Googlers talked about their projects (Project FI, Google Code Jam, etc). Again, we had food :), and some popcorn :D Later that day I spent my last hours in SF with the mentors, we went to Chinatown, Palace of Fine Arts, and took some selfies :P http://people.sugarlabs.org/ignacio/pi/tECJb9PEf0SEyz7S4uGs.jpg http://people.sugarlabs.org/ignacio/pi//gExm3YI3hJzmBAka7Qo.jpg We also had some pizza :D I honestly loved this trip, it feel somehow different from my two times going as a student. I had a lot of more fun (maybe because I was just comfortable with my English level, and did not felt shy at all). But who knows :) Thanks everyone for letting me go. I'm really glad I got to met Tymon, and got the chance to flight with Cristian. Thanks again and sorry for this long email :) Ignacio.- _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
