I just finished teaching a workshop to youth workers from 8 different churches in South Bend, Indiana. It was a fun time-- great people.
I had never been to South Bend before. The hotel I stayed at was right across the street from Notre Dame. I walked over to the campus- beautiful. Really amazing.
Just a few weeks before I was in Boston and visited Harvard. Sorry... Harvard's campus doesn't hold a candle to Notre Dame. Notre Dame felt so much more like a community, where Harvard felt like a bunch of buildings crammed into the middle of a crowded city. I'm sure there is much more to an education than the "feel" of the campus... but as for atmosphere... Notre Dame wins by a longshot. Pretty cool football stadium too.
I'm now back in Chicago- I fly out tomorrow. I grabbed some Giordano's Pizza, my favorite pizza across the nation... off to bed soon.
Peace!
