It was our last Sunday in Akron and the weather did not cooperate!  It was raining and grey all day.

The day does not look promising.

This means it wasn’t a good day for taking pictures.  Luckily, I have a photo from earlier in the trip that hasn’t been shared yet!

Akron is an art-friendly city. There is a great art gallery (that several of us attended on Thursday when admission was free!) and everywhere you look you can find outdoor sculpture.  On the UA campus they even have a 40 foot tall outdoor sculpture by renowned glass artist, Dale Chihuly!

This is actually made of polymer materials and is located outside of the Goodyear Polymer Center on campus.

Today we learned that Memorial Day is a quiet day in Akron. Everything on campus was closed.  Almost everything in walking distance of campus was closed.  And there were no parades or Memorial Day activities in downtown Akron.  All in all, very very quiet.  So we took it easy.

You know that nothing happened when the highlight of the day was…

Fresh linens! Woohoo!

It was probably a good thing because tomorrow we have a big day planned…stay tuned!
