San Francisco Bay

Something related to our training down at Mexico. Balloon catheters and heart stents. Balloons are manually blown, piece by piece. Simple but tedious process.....

Heart stent is the answer to open heart surgery, angioplasty, and a bypass surgery. Some really awesome research behind every stent design.
Done with work and off to San Francisco Bay area. It's about an hour drive from our office. No visit to San Francisco is complete without visiting Lombard St and Golden Gate Bridge, and a glimpse of Alcatraz Island and Fisherman Wharf.

Well done Team Avalon


I kindly volunteered to stay at the bottom to take a photo of them in the convertible, down the most crooked St. How noble....
I have no idea what made Golden Gate Bridge so famous but it's one of the landmarks of San Francisco and thus deserved a visit.
Us with our lovely colleague/tour guide =)
Dinner at the famous Cheesecake Factory. I'm still not used to the portions served here. I can barely finish half of it. Total waste of food.... My boy will love staying in USA.

Shopping loot from Gilroy Premium Outlet =) Final day of shopping. It's kinda sad when I'm the one doing most of the shopping while the rest juz hangs around. 2 hrs at an outlet is totally insufficient =(
Done with San Francisco. Now El Paso, Texas awaits..... Some serious work ahead.
