Stanford University visit

We went to Stanford last weekend. This adventure started as a visit to cousins on Mary's side, Heidi and Andrew and their German friend, Lisa who is considering advertising as a career. We went for lunch, chatting and a football game - but it was much more.  We saw:

Stanford Water Polo
a water polo match

Stanford Band
the cooky band

Stanford Stadium - playing on the field
and we even got on the field after the Stanford team manhandled Arizona. (I wouldn't mind seeing Stanford v LSU in the bowls - but I like the idea of LSU going to the Sugar and me still getting to pull for Stanford in the Rose.)

Overall, it was a remarkable experience.  The energy of a college campus for the opportunity to observe community, diversity and freshness is unparalleled.

Did you run into any inebriated Trees? Been there once, beautiful campus, no doubt. Speaking of Stanford, remember this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRC3L9FE9Qw
