Laowai

It’s never too early to start searching for the right college for Bea. Just Kidding. We have been hibernating because of the hot, humid weather but today I just had to get out. I decided to walk around Northwestern’s shady campus instead of our usual lakefront route. College campuses can be so beautiful – I think it has to do with the buildings being so close together for foot traffic. And there are often old and modern buildings smooshed right up next to each other – forced to get along and show off their contrasting styles.

Northwestern’s campus is no exception. We took a nice long walk winding through the paths between all the buildings and I found some courtyards that I had never been to. We even eavesdropped on a couple tours for prospectve students. The parents looked eager, the kids looked disappointed to be hanging out with their un-hip parents. Next time I’ll take my camera to capture some of the campus architecture.

Here’s an arial view of Evanston and Northwester’s campus. We usually skirt the beach and then head out to the island looking area when we go for a walk.

Here’s a shot of Grandpa and Grandma C., Brian and Bea (in her stroller). We had an enjoyable (and drippy humid) evening at Ravinia.
