Bellingham

Western Washington State University is located in Bellingham which is just a hop, skip and a jump from Canada.  I was hoping to visit Tristan and see where he lives and schools but then there was the I5 bridge that broke, which is the way to get to Bellingham plus it was the Memorial Day weekend with extra people on the roads.  So, we didn't go until Tuesday and Tristan had class until 4 so it really was a last minute visit.

We wondered if this bridge was functionally obsolete!

As the passenger, I could scrutinize the bridge structure.

Our creative detour provided quite a good look at Burlington.

Many sculptures on campus and this one was very interesting.

Can you see the umbrella painted on the side of the building?

Ha!

I love the texture of these stones.

We saw another piece by this sculptor in the Olympic Sculpture Park!

Red Square, the bricks are wet from rain not the fountain.

Construction going on behind this sculpture.

Calder wannabe?

Sculpture of a different kind... there's a lot of rain here.

The most beautiful campus.  You feel like you could pitch a tent 5 feet off the walking paths.

The library.  Wow.

Classrooms!

Man Pies, where we had dinner. This is the outside front of the building.

We drove through Starbuck's for a Mocha Frappaccino Grande for the trip home (80 miles).
 Brian knit the cup cozy!

The broken bridge.  Getting dark and so I filled in some light.

It was far too short of a visit and fairly exhausting but I'm so glad we got to go!
