Indiana University, part 4

Interestingly the campus has a huge hotel on it.

Lots of stone, yes, but it's nicely complemented by lots of greenery.

An impressive assortment of buildings on a large, leafy campus.

Indiana University campus

 

When in Bloomington, IN check out the Indiana University campus. We started with the Eskenazi Museum of Art, designed by I.M. Pei and completed in 1982. I was reminded of course of the Paul Mellon Arts Center on the Choate Rosemary Hall campus, completed a decade earlier.

Bloomington, IN La Quinta

 

The La Quinta in Bloomington, IN. For a chain hotel it was well designed and well located. Below, a catalpa sapling encountered on an early morning walk. At first I thought it was a princess tree (Paulownia tomentosa).

high tech laundry

 

First time I was pressured to get an app to do laundry. First time I was charged a "convenience fee" for not having an app. At least I got what I paid for - unlike a 21st century vending machine.
