Ada and I had decided that today we were going to venture into the city to see some museums. Her mom ended-up with a half day so she decided to come with us. :-) Both of them are a blast to chat with and hang-out with (I think I've said that before).
When we first got there they showed me the Yale bookstore, which is apparently also a good size Barnes and Noble.
I thought it was funny how many glasses are sold at the Yale "crap" store. Wow! New Haven is really Yale!
We hit a little Yale cafe for lunch. It was yummy and cheap too. :-) Us three girls had a very nice chat about being short while we were there, among other things.
The first museum we hit was the Yale University Art Gallery. They had all sorts of cool things, from Van Gogh paintings to marble statues to an "I-Book" as modern art(Ha). Very cool museum though!!
The second place we headed to was the Yale arcituture building to check out some of the new designs that they were comming up with.
We found this one fasinating. It's the "Shop Lift: Rethinking Retail, Shopping Center". Those bars over the structure are residential units and we couldn't figure out what the white fluffy stuff on the roof was representing. We even tried to read the description. "The resulting architechural typology is analogous, in formal and operational terms, to the term 'plex', which means 'to plait (interlace), or to interweave,' thus forming a plexus: a complex body, collection, or set of things; a web, a network, or any intertwined or interwoven mass." Isn't there an easier way to say that??
On the way back home we saw the sun setting on Yale which we thought was cool and I got another picture of Old Campus Yale.
When we came home, we spent the rest of the night cooking and chatting. Good times. Sorry James, I did have to tell some funny stories about you and me. :-)
Good night! It's off to NYC tomorrow!
