I’ve been out of town for the weekend in San Francisco to visit a church just outside the city called Messiah Lutheran, where I got to tell everyone about the University and why they should send their students to us for their education. I really enjoyed this trip. I ate some great food and stayed in the centre of town, met up with some friends and saw a side of the city that I hadn’t really been aware of before. The hotel was in a pretty rough part of on called the Tenderloin, which is in an interesting transitional state, with the San Francisco Academy of Art buying up buildings and populating the area with students, so there’s a really odd mixture of run down dives and chic bars and restaurants.
