Given that all institutions of higher learning are legally required to foster and support a substantial squirrel population, I thought it an appropriate photo to take. Found him, and several other squirrels, by this statue of Jefferson. UVA loves them some Jefferson. Must be nice to have a recognizable founder. Is there particular noteworthy founder for NCSU?



I think they may have been nomming on some of these:



More flowery pics (they replanted the gardens at the Monticello to be very in keeping with what Jefferson himself had planted & I got a few other random flowery pics around town).



Lewis & Clark:


Clark's big bro - George Rogers Clark aka Conqueror of the Old Northwest:

Escafe was great. Will eat there again if I go back. Revolutionary Soup too.

The only picture I snapped in Charlottesville was of the Men and Boy's Shop on the mall.

Which coincidentally is modeled after Pearl Street in Boulder, CO. tmyk

Outside of it, looking down the road:


























Facing the north end of UVA's quad - "The Rotunda" building




UVA's music building - "Old Cabell Hall"

I saw a lot of the Zs & 7s around campus.



Random close up of the Monticello:


And now from far away:








DIED JULY 4 1826


I saw a lot of these trolley looking buses around town and campus:
