We were up bright and early and got L to campus by 8:30 a.m. We immediately were sent out on a tour of the campus.
After various information sessions and talking to reps from the various colleges L might be interested in, we waited for E to get done with class so we could take her to lunch. (Not going to miss a free meal, I suppose. B didn't have classes today, but passed on lunch.) Here's L sitting on the Alma Mater statue.
We ended up at Steak 'n Shake for lunch. We thought the university was going to give us lunch but they told us we could eat for $9 in one of the dining halls, or go to Green Street and find something on our own.
We dropped E back at the Engineering Quad and walked around some more. We talked with a woman from one of the colleges who suggetsted we check out the student-run cafe since L has an interest in hospitality/food management. We walked right past it (OK, I said, I bet it's the window with the big paper chef in it, but Andy and L kept walking. We eventually circled around past this biology building and found it. Don't want to say I told you so, but ...).

L drove us most of the way from Champaign to Normal for tomorrow's tour at Illinois State.
This DeKalb corn facility was the most interesting thing I found on the drive.
Yay, Normal!
Our old apartment buildings are still there - mine on the left, Andy's on the right.
We did a little shopping in downtown Normal. It's changed a lot since Andy and I were there 30 (!) years ago.
