California

Postcards from California:

This postcard was sent to my class from my best friend in California. It was great because she's from Kansas, so she's able to comment on how different her area is from "home".

This postcard is from Prof. Wydick, from the area of UC Davis, in California! It was interesting to learn about how most students travel by bicycle in the area, and also about how the college is famous for farming technology and medical care for animals.

And here's one from Southern California:

Here's one from Santa Monica:

This postcard had great information about California: California is very varied. The ocean is one the west side, mountains on the east side. In the middle are fertile valleys that grow 250 kinds of agricultural products.

12/5/11 Today we received another gorgeous California postcard. It features Big Bear Lake, which is says is in the alpine valley of the San Bernadino Mountains in southern California. It looks very different than the land here in Kansas! 12/7/11 Laguna Beach, California: This postcard says that the tide pools are just a short walk north of the public swimming beach.

12/13/11 This postcard is a great example of the kindness that people are showing to our class! Dr. Franz, from Maine, was traveling to Stanford University and realized that our class may not have received a postcard from California yet, so he made sure to send one to us! We appreciate the thoughtfulness that people are showing to our class and our project! (I love the photo of the homes in San Fransisco on the bottom right of the postcard. My class had a great conversation about how very different home structures can be within the different regions of the U.S.!)
