Road Warrior Tales

In July I did some work for the University of New Haven in Connecticut and got to stay at a hotel located on the Yale campus. I had a lot of fun exploring campus and pretending stuff. I am really immature.

I love this building. It is the only modern building I encountered on campus and I love that it appears to be floating. It is the Rare Books and Manuscripts Library.

 

I was immediately drawn to this building and had high hopes of capturing an enchanting photo...

but a student crew was filming there, so instead I watched them shoot this scene about 15 times. The guy on the scooter is wearing briefs. Briefs are funny. He got hurt during one of the takes.

This was the view from my hotel room.

So are these...

Then I visited one of my friends who lives in the cutest little (what I imagine to be quintessential New England) town ever. 

There are a bunch of islands in this area and many of them are privately owned. Not too shabby.

Road Warrior Tales

I spent last week in St. Paul/Minneapolis at Northwestern College. It was a great trip and a great time of year to visit Minnesota. My first night there I went to the 5:40pm showing of The Social Network and ate a tub of popcorn, a box of Junior Mints, and a diet coke for dinner. It felt illicit and amazing.

My second morning there I explored a small island on campus before work and with the exception of a very Watcher in the Woods chapel it was very refreshing.

I also visited the Mall of America and the first ever Target which was only a mile from my hotel. Target was actually much cooler than Mall of America. It was huge and the woman's shoe section was awesome.
