for the love of campus

No surprise that these guys are learning early and often that a university campus is a sweet spot on the planet.

After dinner Sunday evening we walked a few blocks towards this campus - a personal favorite of ours and a major landmark in our city.

And then we couldn't resist heading inside.  You (usually) don't have to walk far to find something interesting on a university campus and this one is no different.

This elderly man set up a little spot for himself on the sidewalk and played his erhu (a two-stringed instrument).  Isaac was impressed with how much money he was making :)

I guess from a 5 year old perspective, it did seem like a good chunk of change in his jar... and we saw several folks toss in money while we were watched.

This is the second time we've eaten dinner near this campus gate - it's a great spot for us, close to our apartment, easy parking right on the curb, gobs of restaurants to choose from, and a perfect spot for post-dinner walking.  I think we'll be back again soon.
