Hello Everybody! Well, we are finally here in Palo Alto, CA. We have spent the last week riding our bikes ALL OVER Stanford campus and trying to figure out where everything is. Here is a list of interesting things so far...
1.) Nobody is white.
2.) Nobody speaks English unless forced.
3.) An old lady already told Taylor off because he did not fully yield and give a pedestrian the right of way. (it was hilarious and terrifying all at the same time!)
4.) We are too politically correct to have an "official mascot", so instead of offending any minority groups we simple cheer for the color "cardinal" and we have a silly tree that dances around at football games.
5.) Our band is INSANE! I repeat...our band is INSANE! You have never seen anything like them. I don't even know where to begin, but lets just say they are the rebel band nerds of the whole world:)
6.) There are black "killer" squirrels all around campus. Taylor thinks that they have been genetically altered by the labs at Stanford to promote diversity among the squirrel population.
7.) We call our oven the "easy bake oven" because it is about 12" high and 6" wide.
8.) Taylor's new best friends are named Mapolo and Gogurt...you think I am kidding, but I am not!
Ok so I can't think of any others at the time, but I will do more later!
Ok this all looks like such a great adventure! I'm jealous. And Taylor looks handsome in the pictures :D----mommy
ReplyDeleteOh and you look beautiful in the pictures! mommy
ReplyDeleteAm I seeing things? Did you seriously update!? This is a beautiful thing. Ok Stanford sounds RAD. I loved the black squirrels comment. You should name one Bucky... 'he just loves to climb the trees and eat the nuts' Please tell me you know what that's from?
ReplyDeleteI have one...."nerd alert!" you saw a boy wearing urkel pants and running to class and apparently this is not an uncommon occurance.
ReplyDeleteYour blog about Stanford is too funny. That's exciting that you guys are there for grad school. Are you pretty close to Kelli? I don't really DO geography so I have no idea if Palo Alto is anywhere near where Kelli's at. Hope you guys are really enjoying it down there!
ReplyDeleteHooray that your birthday is on Thursday so that we can have a new update soon!
ReplyDeleteCan you send me your address please?
