A Short Walk Down Memory Lane

I have been driving from Ohio with the goal of Zion, IL. I just happened to find Bloomington, IN on my path! My daughter and son-in-law graduated from IU. One summer I rented an apartment with Rachel here, while she worked hard in school, I explored. Today I just hit a few of the highlights, this is a great fun town. Breakfast at Panera in the College Mall so I could stream Shabbat services, followed by a pedicure. Then off to Kirkwood Ave for lunch (with dinner leftovers) at Siam House, one of our favs!

I had a nice stroll along Kirkwood, it was a beautiful fall day and all the kids were out enjoying. The campus was as beautiful as ever. I HAD to stop at our old favorite: The Chocolate Moose. YUM! for a chocolate shake.      

                                                          

 I sipped away and took a short drive out to the Exotic Rescue Center. 

 
I certainly have mixed feelings about these great animals behind fences. But they have been rescued from ignorant people and are very well cared for. They roar, chuff, purr and absolutely respond as wild animals. They are majestic and beautiful, and I feel lucky to have seen them and heard them today. From there I headed to Danville for an overnight before off to Zion tomorrow.  And here I am  living the life with my own little lioness, Arya. 

I am headed off to new memories first thing in the morning!
