Um, I will be in Bloomington (about 50 miles south of it) starting
August 1st.

If it's still there, don't miss a chance to eat at Opie Taylor's. It was
one of my favorite places to eat when I lived there. There's a Boca Loca
bead store there, along with one in Indy itself, they've been there for
years, and were great fun to visit. Have a meal at the Trojan Horse and
think of me, I think I lived in there. Oh, and if the Runcible Spoon is
still open, it's also fun to eat at, and the Co-op food store.

Bloomington is great during the summer but by September it fills up like mad
with the students and things get a bit crowded.

Good luck there, it has some great features, including one of the best
research libraries in the US.
