I visited Prescott College in Arizona today. I really liked it overall, though I'm not totally sold on the town. They have done a beautiful job of creating a sustainable campus, and environmental studies is their most popular major. They offer a free bike shop and loan out all kinds of outdoor rec equipment for free as well. I really liked the feel of the place, and Northern Arizona is just beautiful. At one point today, as I was crossing the Red Mesa, I could have sworn I'd been teleported to Mars! It looked like a giant baking sheet with geologic-scale cookies haphazardly dropped to bake in the desert sun. I again had the same feeling as I did yesterday on Grand Mesa, the perception of driving across a giant plate, distantly encircled by the arms of the mountains in an upturned, protective embrace.
I am exhausted from driving for two days straight, so I'm keeping this one short. I had a really great time in Boulder and learned a lot. I also really like Naropa, where Becca Wasserman goes to school. I look forward to applying to Naropa and Prescott. Anyways, I have to find my bed for the night..... a manana.....the Grand Canyon!!
