Bloomington Indiana

On Saturday night we headed to my friend's place in Bloomington. She has spent nearly 7 years here first as a student and now as faculty at the University of Indiana. The weather wasn't as nice as expected with sporadic rains throughout the next two days. But the campus was beautiful and everything was in full bloom. The green surroundings as we walked through the Dunn woods was a clear indication of the lush spring.

Bloomington was a very diverse campus with a large downtown. We really enjoyed the very ethnic meal options:

Anyetsan's Little Tibet Restaurant

Mandalay Burmese Restaurant


Sobon Korean Restaurant

It was hard deciding on these places choosing among the other Indian, Turkish, Greek etc. options. But the food was really good.

We spent a couple of hours at WonderLab , an interactive science museum that was entertaining to kids and adults alike.

In honor of the royal wedding we stopped by to try on some hats a thrift store.
It was wonderful being away for a few days and relaxing in the company of my dear friend. We will always remember staying up on Sunday night watching Obama's speech about Bin Laden's death.
