A little after 5am we finally settled down to rest and slept for a few hours before we got up for an amazing "Southern/European breakfast" by Ellen's amazing mom Donna Sue!
Ellen and Donna Sue spent the day showing us around their beautiful city! We got the chance to see Micheal Graves' Humana building...
an amazing boutique hotel with some INCREDIBLE art installations...
beautiful building elements...
We had a great time that evening over a 'family dinner' of tasty tacos and great conversation and ended the evening in the living room with watching the movie Citizen Architect. It seemed so timely that throughout this entire month of soul searching about what is next in our lives that we got to be reminded of the amazing work of the Rural Studio and how incredible it was being part of a program that utilizes education and their skill-set to make such a difference in the world.....
