Bloomington Trip (Day 3)

Our last full day in Bloomington was spent by first getting bagels at the Bloomington Bagel Company with Dave for breakfast and then heading towards Indianapolis, stopping on our way at the Oliver Winery where we had some free tastings and a tour of the facilities. Once in Indy, we spent the vast majority of our time at Circle Center Mall, which is interesting if only because the mall is built into the city, being on the second and third floors of several city blocks and connected by indoor bridges. We shopped a lot, stopping to get lunch at Penn Station, and ending our mall visit at H+M, which I LOVED in Europe and have been dying to go to since I came back (one or two are arriving in Atlanta this Spring).

After returning to Bloomington, we listened to Dave's recent recording of Re-Callings just before heading out to La Charreada (note: NOT La Torre) to meet up with Adam and Lauren (and eventually Iddo and Sophie) for some Mexican. Once back, Dave showed us Dance Dance Revolution, on which Dave has acquired some serious mad skills (I sucked pretty badly though). This reminds me that that morning Dave also showed me Nintendo Wii for the first time...we played Wii Sports: Bowling, Boxing, and Tennis, all of which were pretty fun. Anyway, after DDR, to finish off the trip right, Dave and I played a game of Magic, somewhat attempting to explain the game to Candace as we went along. Naturally, Dave won.

Today, we're driving back to Atlanta, but I'll try to journal twice sometime soon in order to catch up with my posting.
