Stop 5- Bloomington, Indiana
We tried to make hotel arrangements for Bloomington for the 5 days we were there, but unfortunately (or luckily for us) we weren’t able to get a hotel room for our first night, so we got to stay with Heidi. Who by the way has a great apartment and is a great hostess. We went to Macri’s for the ever popular mozzarella sticks and then back to her place for games and fun. We were so happy we got to hang out with all our friends. We went to Nick’s for some sink the Biz with Heidi, Nick and April, we also went out to dinner with everyone to yummy Mexican and hung out at Nick and April’s apartment. It was so great getting to see them, we only with we could’ve gotten up North to see Adam, Melissa and the bug. Hopefully next time we come rolling though we can get to see them. I also got to hang out with all my friends from work. We got to go to Brown County with our friends Lori and Bob, we went to Gnawbone, for the best pork tenderloin sandwiches in the world. We also went to some painters house, I can’t remember who, Lori do you know? Anyways, we had a great time seeing them again. I ended up going to work each night to see everyone. I do miss nursing, but it was wonderful being back a the hospital with all my friends. It was like I never left. Hopefully it will be that easy to transition back into working when I get back to the states. Steve was also able to do some work at IU, which was our reason for gong to Bloomington. I can’t wait to go back! The great thing about this 3 month trip was in the end, it made me realize how important everyone is to me, I had so much fun seeing everyone, and I miss all my friends terribly. So, my door is always open to anyone who wants to come visit!!!!

Enjoyed having you guys here. Yummy tenderloin place in Gnawbone may have been our last, as it is now for sale. Good explanation why my chips were outdated! As for T.C. Steele, in addition to being a noted member of the “Hoosier Group” of American Impressionist painters, Theodore Clement Steele was an artist of international reputation who in 1907 built “The House of the Singing Winds” atop a hill in Brown County, Indiana.

Thanks Lori, I knew you would remember. By the way, do you guys have any pics? Steve and I apparently didn’t take any.

I’m so glad that you guys were able to visit Bloomington, and that I was able to play hostess for you. You’re welcome any time!
So, should I be concerned that April and Lisa seem to be laughing at me in that first pic? 😉
