UC Merced

The next stop: UC Merced.
This campus, the newest of the UC system, had literally begun operations a month
before, on Labor Day! Since Steph was now working as an academic advisor at
the school, it seemed only natural that we should go over there and have a look
around. I called her on our way back and had the following exchange: "Which
building should we meet you at?" "What do you mean, which building? There's
only one!" Since we were still thirty miles out of Merced at that point, we
had time for a few more hijinks: racing an Amtrak train (aa040566 - 68) and
photographing UC Merced's parking receipts (aa040569 - 70). Apparently we
bought ours from the very first parking meter! (I wonder if there's a
#0000000?)
