I forgot to leave my heart in San Francisco - so I left it in lovely, laid-back, leafy green Lafayette. It was like a holiday at home - this truly was a holiday from my holiday!
We arrived in Lafayette, Indiana on a greyhound from Chicago to be met at the bus station with hugs and kisses from our dear dear friend Mary. We dashed off to the pub to meet some of Mary's colleagues from Purdue Uni. They all love Mary - 'cos everyone loves Mary - but it turns out she didn't know all of the Purdue folk that well ............. they are lucky to have her ................we want her back.

Mary and Stuart have the loveliest house set among lots of rolling green cornfields - very restful on the eye.
Our week just flew by - lovely lunch parties, visits to beautiful restaurants, cute american diners and the cutest little towns...... meeting all (well nearly all) the Le Fevres family; dropping into Crystals house every day; margaritas as big as your head; the Mighty Wabash; oh really good healthy walks in the morning past the corn fields - that Crystal can really move! visits to fantastic antique shops - oh and the antiques are soooo cheap - must add that to my list of favourite things about America (along with the bacon, bottomless cups of coffee, great service, fantastic berries (bit of food theme happening here); Hal cooking us biscuits and gravy; watching the corn grow - its more interesting than it sounds; really great pie and my new Marie Osmond earings!
