What do you get when you combine half-marathon training with tourism and blogging? "Name that Memorial!" Here's how it works--I go for a run to a local memorial or monument. Then I come home, write a blog post, and readers guess where I ran based on quotes or other random pieces of information about the memorial. We will play as long as readers participate.
So, yesterday I ran to a memorial that 1) has the quote: "Uncommon Valor was a Common Virtue," 2) has by far the best drinking fountain of the three I passed to get there (measured by water temperature, taste, and pressure), and 3) is close to a tulip garden I wish I had discovered a week earlier.
First one to get it right wins! (What you win is yet to be determined.)
my guess is WWII
ReplyDeleteNo guess here, seeing as I'd have to use my brain on a Friday to figure it out, but I love the water fountain reference! That was probably the most memorable ChE presentation I saw in our 4 years! lol.
ReplyDeleteThe answer is the Iwo Jima Memorial/Marine Corps Memorial. The tulips are by the Netherlands Carillon. An honorable mention goes out to Jenna for referencing Daniel Lattin's chemical engineering project that forever changed the way I think about drinking fountains. :)
