Day 2 of our trip opened beautifully. We enjoyed a comfortable breakfast and brief morning ride to Cal Poly Pomona. Oxnard and Pomona are close together and we arrived well fed and eager to learn about the univeristy.
The morning dew was still fresh on the field as we embarked from the bus. The glow of the morning sun warmed my body and heart. The views of the sky and campus were inspiring.
My sense of patriotism was stirred by the sight of the American flag in the morning light.
Having some Native American ancestry (Miami and Cherokee) I appreciated the Native American Student Center. We were waiting for the tour guides and had some time to roam.
Mostly I was impressed with how beautiful and comfortable the campus felt.
The sky was gorgeous in the morning glow.
Our tour guides escorted us around the campus and had valuable information to share.
It started to warm up as we readied to proceed to the next colleges.
Next on our itinerary was the Claremont colleges. I have to confess I was a bit distracted at Harvey Mudd. I really wanted to go to Mudd, but ended up at UCSD intsead. I was distracted enough that I didn't get any good photos of the campus. The school is not that pretty really, aesthetically. However there is an ambience of profound intellect and wisdom that makes it sublime. Perusing the halls we saw amazing presentations of work from students. Brilliance flowed from every fountain and glowed from every display of student work on the walls. The only picture that I collected was of the folder I purchased from the college store.
My group arrived at the bus with the rest of the groups waiting to proceed to the next campus.
University California, Riverside was a grind. All of us were tired and footworn. Again, I did not get many good pictures. It was very warm out. We were hungry and looking forward to getting back to the hotel.
Friday night was fun for the kids with frivoloties at the mall and pool.
