On Sunday, we had just enough time to walk around the U.-Va. campus before we had to head back to D.C. The rotunda at the northern end of Thomas Jefferson's "academical village" was under construction and is expected to reopen in 2016 (Mom and Dad, a great time for you to visit so we can take you to Monticello, too!). The campus was practically deserted, but we got to look at some interesting signs, including one that talked about James Madison and another mentioning that Edgar Allen Poe had briefly been a student there -- who knew? We also saw a section of the Berlin Wall and read about how it got there.
It seems to be a lovely campus, and we hope that Rachel applies there in a decade or so. Or maybe she'll do some summer academic program there? In any case, we all enjoyed our self-guided tour!
