Palo Alto is another of the Alamo Colleges. It is a pleasant modern campus that lies to the south of the city which would be regarded as a poor district. Rena Denham had invited us to meet two philosophy classes. Again our time was short but we were able to talk about Corrymeela, tell some stories and get into how Corrymeela works at reconciliation. The students were shy and very polite. We were told that many of the students would not have been out of San Antonio let alone Texas. Rena gave us reminders of home, Tetley tea and Heinz baked beans, as provided by her boyfriend who hales from Buxton, Derbyshire.
