After I moved here, Sundays quickly became my most favorite day of the week. It was the one day I had to myself. My day to relax, clear my mind, and do anything but work. My Sundays in Connecticut were always so busy with meetings and visits until 6 or 7 at night.
But it has been a completely different story here. Done by noon! It's been amazing. Especially when I started working a lot of hours. Sundays saved me and my sanity. I usually went on a walk and found myself at a park near the apartment I was living at when I first moved here. I would just lie on the grass and read or listen to my ipod. Best. Feeling. Ever.
One Sunday I made my way to Stanford campus and found it was a perfect place to spend an afternoon.
It is still cool to me that I live somewhere with Palm trees. Growing up in Canada, palm trees symbolized tropics, vacation, warmth - everything life in Canada was not. The street pictured above is called Palm Drive and it leads right to Stanford Campus.
This is the Stanford Memorial Church (which I just recently found out is referred to as "Memchu"). We had the Institute Christmas Concert there this past week so I was able to go inside. It's quite a beautiful church.
It's a nice campus. It definitely has a different feel than its East Coast counter parts. Very different architecture.
I loved just wandering around campus. The weather and scenery were perfect. It was yet another fantastic Sunday. I live in such a great area. The weather is always SO nice here. And there is so much to do. People are always out biking, hiking, running. It's wonderful.
