July 26, 2015, Sunday, Indianapolis, IN
Day 87

Not much open before noon on Sunday so we slept in.  Began our day at the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument and took a ride up 330 feet to the observation deck. Elevator was even smaller than the minuteman missile site but fortunately only one other couple with a small child and no fatties this time. Great 360 degree view of the city. Next was a visit to the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library. Interesting to say the least, with much correspondence to and from Vonnegut concerning his various writings and the making of movies based on his books. Also included was some of his artwork including the “Sphincter”. We then spent the rest of the day at the Indianapolis Art Museum until the 5 pm closing. After 3-1/2 hours, we did not get a chance to see everything but we did see what the museum claims is the largest collection of Neo-Impressionist paintings which we enjoyed. There was also a special exhibit on “Dream Cars” which included concept cars from the 1930's to the present.  Very neat.   I would love to have any one of these cars but I think once I got into one, I would have a tough time getting out. Rats on getting old.
