Hours driven: 4
States lines crossed:1
From chicago I made my way south to rendezvous with some more family: My two bestest friends from college, Ginelle and Erin. Ginelle has been living in Bloomington for the past two years working and studying, while her sweetie, Adam (also a good friend) works on his Ph.D. in English. Impressed? Erin drove up from Asheville with her sweetie, jose. Erin has been working in various avenues to promote immigrant rights and human rights in North Carolina. I call them my smart friends.
There we are doing one of the things we do best, besides talking and salsa dancing: feasting. Erin, Ginelle, Jose and Adam are all excellent cooks and when we get together its one elaborate meal after another. This was breakfast numero uno: silver dollar blueberry applesauce pancakes, scrabbled eggs w/ veggies, warm tortillas, fried 'taters w/ more veggies and coffee, of course. I do dishes, and eat, those are my gifts :-)
I spent the weekend here and enjoyed catching up and resting up after my three, 12-13 hour drives. We did lots of eating, drinking, hiking and biking. Hooray for biking. Bloomington is a great city to bike not only was it a super fun way to see the neighborhoods and the beautiful IU campus, it was also imperative after all that feasting of food and drink. Thanks Gine and Adam!
