It’s time for my annual year in places. As before, I only counted cities in which I spent at least one night. I visited those cities with a * on multiple non-consecutive days. The list is chronological by first visit. See also my lists from 2007 and 2008.
Just like last year. I spent at least one night in each of the cities listed, and I visited cities with a * multiple times on non-consecutive days. The list is roughly chronological, but it’s entirely from memory.
I just got back from visiting Divya in D.C. for the weekend. I had an excellent time: good company, good food, and good art. We visited the National Gallery and sculpture garden (with ice skating), went to a free chamber music concert at the Kennedy Center, and partook of restaurant week at Marrakesh Palace.
(The sculpture above is by Claes Oldenburg — the same artist who did Spoonbridge and Cherry in Minneapolis. It’s the sculpture garden at the National Gallery.)
Classes start tomorrow. This semester I’m planning on taking
Hope it goes well.
A là Kottke, a list of places I visited in 2007, in no particular order:
I spent at least one night in each place (Minneapolis was close - I left at 4:00 am). I visited cities with a * multiple times on non-consecutive days.
I just got back from a trip to Chicago with Divya. It was the first true vacation I’ve taken without my parents (except for a few excursions from Budapest and Prague), and I had a great time exploring the city and spending time with my friends. Highlights include Millennium Park, a production of Wicked (Don’t tell anyone, but I like musicals more than I let on), and an architectural tour of the city.
I’ll be in Omaha for a whole week, and then I’m heading to Memphis for a week to visit my grandmother.
