On Thursday we visited Berkeley for a tour of the UC Berkeley campus and a quick walk around the town. The university of course is legendary for its education and also its significance historically, as part of social movements of the 1960s. Needless to say, I think we were all impressed by the place...
On Friday the students attended more classes, including an informative class on international relations theory given by Dr. Arthur Kian, the leader of the greater Abbey Road program, as well as a class on global water issues with Camille Jones, a Stanford Ph.D. student.
Saturday saw us return to San Francisco. First we explored the Exploratorium (sorry, couldn't help it), a science-orientated museum of sorts. Afterwards, we headed on over to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA). At the museum we were treated to a great tour that highlighted some of the well-known modern works in the museum's collection. We finished the day in San Fran with dinner at Fang's, a great Chinese restaurant.
Today we took the students to a beautiful beach in Carmel, south of here. Blue water, smooth white sand, surrounding hills, the whole nine. After Carmel we headed north to Monterey where we explored the Fisherman's Wharf and had dinner on the water at Abalonetti.
Photos below, check 'em out, Elizabeth "Lizzy" Kinnard did a great job.
Thanks for reading/looking,
