Tony and I were both in Blacksburg for his birthday weekend.  Naturally, we decided to take a walk to campus.  The first stop was the duck pond, where we saw literally dozens of ducks, including some interesting “armor-plated” ducks with about half a dozen ducklings.  After watching the ducks for a little while, we continued to wander around campus, and admired the wonderful architecture.  We eventually made it through campus, and decided to stop at Souvlaki’s for lunch.  (Technically, the name is Souvlaki.  However, Louisa finds it necessary to pluralize businesses.  Something about it being more personal that way. )  We had gyros and cheesesteak (made with gyro meat), and then began the trek home.  At some point, the weather turned from sunny and breezy to drizzly and breezy to rainy.  Not that we minded, since it was still a great day to be outside.
