There's a new section up the hill next to the Walker building with some nice views.
It feels like you're out of the city in some spots.
My favorite new sculpture is Black Vessel for a Saint
Not only because it's St. Jerome, but partly because, being he's the patron saint of librarians.
There's a wind chime tree that is lovely.
I also did a walking tour of the Basilica recently. I don't think I'd ever been in the building before. It was a fun outing.
They have a mosaic piece with Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe there.
It's not my favorite style of architecture, to be perfectly honest. That said, the tour was of "behind the scenes" with Preserve Minneapolis and it was very enjoyable.
And I ran into a woman on the bus the other day who was knitting. Some guy was talking with her and said he'd tried knitting but his hands were too big. She had pretty meaty hands so I thought his argument was very weak.
OH! And I found a copy of this book at the Walker shop!

I love a good behind-the-scenes experience! Andrew and I took one of the TC airport when he was in grade school. (That may not sound exciting to someone who worked there for years, but it was fun for us.) And back in the day I took a dance master class that happened on the stage at Northrup.
Tried knitting but his hands were too big...feeble, dude.
I have to get to the new sculpture garden. I drove past it the other day, does that count?
