Thanks for the ping, Nick. I've never been there.

Did you know we have a bit of old adobe history in Los Altos Hills?

Rancho la Purísima Concepción to further expand her cattle and farming interests. A part of her adobe home still stands on Old Adobe Road in Los Altos Hills. She sold about three quarters of her rancho in 1861 to Martin Murphy Jr. (1807-1884) of Sunnyvale, who had come to California with the Stephens-Townsend-Murphy Party in 1844. She gave the remaining 1,130 acres to her children, who bore their father’s name, Miranda.

The North Beach district in San Francisco was originally called "La Playa de Juana Briones."
