A second evening in Bloomington! A second rendezvous at Fountain Square Mall. This time a chance to photograph a fun yarn bomb and the opportunity to dine at Farm Bloomington. Creativity, quality, and local products are hallmarks of this independent eatery. We started with creative cocktails followed by incredible dinner offering and topped off with amazing desserts. Steve’s Brown Russian was concocted with spirits from the local Cardinal Distillery. The Tuesday special we shared was a Meatloaf crafted with not only beef and pork but also bison. Phil enjoyed a delectable Octopus dish. And our dessert was an amazingly moist and delicious Parsnip Cake! Knowing that the two of them would be working particularly long days tomorrow, we walked with them to our truck and got our goodbye hugs there on S College Street. Don’t know if we’ll be able to get in a bonus visit tomorrow. It all depends on how the truck repair goes.
Caligula at Strawberry Hill
The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
