I've been back for a week now, but I'm finally getting around to blogging about a wonderful time in Indiana. :)
For a few months now, I had been planning a trip to visit my friend, let's call her "Christina" , a misplaced Texan who left almost a year ago to attend Purdue University. This was my first time visiting a friend in another state. 'twas a neat experience indeed.

Day 1 [Saturday] - Arrived in Indianapolis Airport at 3:00 pm, welcomed by Christina, and made it to Lafayette by 5 pm-ish - what a cute little city. We saw the movie Oz with some of her friends that evening - AWESOME movie by the way. I would love to see it again. :)
Leaving my mark in the leftover piles of snow - as often I could.. :) |
1 out of 2 snowmen made in Indiana. |

Day 3 [Monday] - We walked Purdue's pretty "little" campus, visited a few shops in the area, enjoy coffee/fudge/girl talk/relaxing at Greyhouse Coffee, and enjoyed some pizza with one of her friends at Mad Mushroom for dinner (Why is the mushroom mad? He didn't look mad at all - maybe he's bipolar? Who knows ... ). That night, we were able to skype with another friend who wasn't able to make it to Indiana - even though we were able to see her face, it still wasn't the same as hanging out in person. Oh yes, and how can we forget the short 4-person Skype to FaceTime with my guy? What fun & interesting times. :)
Of course, we had to take a picture with a giant No. 2 pencil. In the words of my friend, "I think I can pass the test now". :) |
Top-left: Pappy's - a diner stuck in time from the roaring 20s. Top-right - Lunch, consisted of a swiss burger & hot fudge malt (I pretended that the bun was gluten-free) Bottom-left - Fudge. Decisions, decisions ... Bottom-right - My selection? Mint Chocolate & Pappy's Blend. Delicious! :)

Top Left: Obvious sign is obvious. Top Right: Colored windows in the entry way of the IMA. Beautiful & fun to look out of the different colors. Bottom Left: Gimwale dolls from the Ntwane people of South Africa, or premature Daleks. (That's kinda why this picture was taken.) Bottom Right: The original LOVE sculpture by Robert Indiana created in 1970 - other versions have been made. For me, this was just awesome to see especially since I have never seen any of the other versions yet. The original is always better than the copy. :) |
I enjoyed seeing my friend & the snow, but I am sooooo glad to be back in a warmer climate. :)
