California State University Sacramento


After Michael and I went to Buca de bepe restaurant (or whatever the name is), and incidentally it was delicious, we toured the campus of Sacramento State. We decided we would meet once a week and try out different restaurants. Last week it was my favorite from 2005, Brookfields. Anyway after the restaurant we toured "Sac State" where Michael goes to college and should graduate in Dec 2009.

To quote from their web site "We're particularly proud of our beautiful 300-acre campus, with its lush landscaping and 3,000 trees. Miles of trails stretch along the nearby American River Parkway, linking our campus and student housing with recreational areas such as Folsom Lake and downtown Sacramento."
It really is a lovely campus. We walked around and even took the bridge across the river and saw the bike trail. Very nice. I was totally impressed. Michael will be surprised to know that there are 28,000 students on campus and they graduate 6000 a year! That is about as large as BYU I think.
There was a very peaceful aura around the campus, some girls exercising, a group biking on the trail, many students in groups chatting, many at desks studying (I could see through the windows). Many just casually walking. It may have been the time of day we were there. We parked on the top of the parking garage to survey the campus and took the chance of leaving the car there while we walked around, very nice place to go to school.
Michael has an interesting screen play started also. He is a great writer!!
