Lyle and I spent this morning at the
University of Waterloo. Walking around the paved trails was pleasant. All the
paths we took were paved and level. We also stopped to visit the Museum of
Vision Science in the Optometry building. I was disappointed. There were very
few exhibits and most were encased in glass. This made it impossible for me to
see and I merely listened as Lyle read the descriptions. Initially, Lyle had
wandered around the building looking for the exact location of the museum, and
he reported that there were way more optometry devices in the lecture rooms
upstairs where summer classes were in full session. Nevertheless I have included
a picture of myself in front of the museum sign – just to prove that we were
really here! I am also posting a more
interesting picture that Lyle took at the lookout at Spanish. This is from the top of 143 steps overlooking
the marina.
One nice surprise at the beginning of our
walk today was a meeting with a reporter and photographer from the Waterloo Record. Linda’s questions gave me
pause to reflect on the more personal motivation for the series of walks and to
examine more carefully some of my feelings about blindness. It was a thoughtful
interview and I am looking forward to reading Linda’s article when it goes to
print.
Will wait for the interview. Sorry the museum was not good for you. Nice university though.
