Today’s sessions:
“Sustainable City Planning,” “Small Wind Energy System Ordinances,” “Closing the Gap In Diverse Communities,” “A Planners Guide to Community and Regional Food Planning” and “Latino Communities Across the Americas.” Plenty of variety.
After the sessions we joined another Orem Commissioner and walked over to the riverfront district. We crossed the Mississippi on an old stone bridge, walked up the opposite side along a parkway and came back across on a different bridge. Then we walked up Nicollet Mall, a street that has been turned into a pedestrian area with extra–wide sidewalks, buses and a narrow area where cars are limited to about 10 mph.
This is a picture of us near the start of some small falls

I like that bridge--very cool.
I don't know why, but I've always just loved that image of her tossing her hat. There is something about it that just really works for me. I'm glad you took a picture.
