Visuals

 

Good morning Louisville!  From the window of my hotel room...which, by the way, I could open for fresh air purposes!

 

This is the first thing I saw on entering campus, the front of Grawemeyer Hall.  I know nothing about it yet, but it's lovely.

 

This hall also boasts a (repro?) Rodin!

 

And here's one of the figures in the niches on front.

 

I'm not sure what direction this was in, or what quad I was standing on, but isn't it a pretty view?

 

I think this is a peek from the Bingham Humanities Building, where the conference was located.

 

After the conference, we all repaired to the Brown hotel for cocktails.  This place is gorgeous.  If I had the bucks, I might have stayed here instead!  Then again, I do prefer homecooking and making my own bed to room service and doormen.  Still, it's a beautiful building!

 

Scene from the lobby.

 

There were at least two of these chairs, and I really, really wanted to sit in one, but I wasn't sure if that was allowed!

So that's that!  I shove off at 5:00 AM tomorrow, and I'll be back in NJ by noon. I had a great time, but I'm eager to be back home :)
