July is good too!

That was the most interesting thing that happened on the whole trip.

Well, I'd say that definitely counts as an eventful trip, heh. Over here supermarkets had a thing a couple of years ago about stopping people going shopping in their pyjamas (the branch near one of my friends already had a sign requiring footwear of some sort and no male toplessness).

I found the fountain on waymarking.com, which led me to the college website:

La Vita é Una Fontana

Artist Salvatore Pecoraro, emeritus faculty member of Art, designed the 71-ton fountain in the Sunken Garden. The fountain is meant to remind the observer of a broken empire, and to demonstrate the aesthetic qualities of ruins. “Geometry is always an integral part of my paintings and sculptures, I always had a need to sum up the best parts of thousands of years of art making.”
