Places 2010

As in previous years (200720082009) I’ve compiled a record of my travels in 2010. This year marked my first visit to Asia, as well as vacations to the Adirondacks and Montréal. As before, I’ve included only those cities in which I spent at least one night, and I’ve starred those that I visited multiple non-consecutive days.

  • Omaha, NE*
  • Ithaca, NY*
  • Fairfax, VA*
  • Indianapolis, IN
  • Saranac Lake, NY (Adirondack National Park)
  • Montreal, QC, Canada
  • Singapore, Singapore
  • Memphis, TN

  • Los Angeles, CA

Claes Oldenburg In DC 
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

  • Logic
  • Database Systems

 Hope it goes well.
