The Friendship

 IU has 51,000 students and I consider these kids darn lucky to study on this beautiful campus with so many things to see and do. Mary and Bob are here for the eclipse and for friendship and we've done a lot so far. We are loving having them here. 

We walked in the Eskenazi Museum. They were hosting a scavenger hunt.  We found everything on the list and I received a small Almond Joy.  On the 3rd Floor,  we saw a Saul Steinberg exhibit. He made the New Yorker covers.  His prints are amazing.

Next door at the Grunwald, you can see the art of graduating MFA students.  These young people are on their way.  So many weird and interesting pieces in the installation.

Across the way, if you head in to the Lilly Library, you can see a fine exhibit about Nadine Gordimer.  I can not recall if I've read any of her books, but she had a quite interesting life.  Plus she won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1991, so she's no slouch.

If you're walking about after these amazing cultural experiences, amble by the IU celebrity sculptures featuring Elinor Ostrom, Ernie Pyle, Herman Wells and Hoagy Carmichael.  You won't regret it.

We've done other stuff too.  I'll tell you more later.
