Welcome to Durham, NC! The city of medicine (famous for research, etc.) Should also be famous for its infinite supply of one-way streets and roads that are named Chapel Hill. |
The beautiful Duke Gardens.Practically next door to my apartment building. I spent a great deal of time wandering in these gardens. |
The Japanese iris in bloom. |
The view out from beneath the cool shade of a wisteria-covered gazebo. |
The sculpted shores of the central pond, filled with ducks and turtles. |
A few of the many resident ducks -- they are practically tame. |
My ApartmentHome sweet home was the ground floor apartment in this "beautiful" apartment building. Actually, I was glad to have a place so conveniently close on campus, and it was pretty spacious for a two-person apartment. I have to admit that it was sadly lacking in the comfortable furniture department, though. |
The Levine Science Research CenterAnd here is my "home" for my ten weeks at Duke University - the LSRC. Actually one of the first buildings I found on campus. Unfortunately, finding my way back a second time proved more challenging. |
