My Visit to North Carolina (Day 4)

Sadly, my visit with Mike and Amanda came to a close. My flight left in the afternoon, but I couldn't remember for sure what time so we walked across the street to Duke's East Campus to use the computers. Duke is so pretty!

This is where the hobbit lives (according to Amanda):

I find this statue so fascinating. It's rare that you see memorial statues of someone sitting.

Even the stairs at Duke are pretty.

And check out the plush seating in the Math tutoring lab. Mike says it's like this everywhere.

Mike and Amanda's house. It's where the president used to live, but now it's split into apartments.

Their porch:

Mike does a pretty good impersonation of Jefferson, as you can see from comparing this final picture with one from when Amanda and I went to William and Mary.

I made Mike and Amanda take me to the airport early because I was convinced there would be long lines. I made it through check-in and security in less than 20 minutes. Oh well. At least I had time to grade papers.
