After stopping for lunch right near the Indiana border -- we saw less flooding than in Ohio, though there are warnings about rivers bursting their banks all over this state, too -- we drove to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and visited the Indianapolis 500 Hall of Fame, which consists largely of cars and trophies. There are nearly 100 vehicles on display, including many winning race cars and historic vehicles dating back to the 1910s, plus a reproduction of a racing garage and many photos and souvenirs of champion drivers. I cannot pretend that cars are remotely my area of expertise, but it was fun listening to other visitors who were all excited to see the winning cars and trophies. From there we headed to Lafayette, where we had dinner, played miniature golf, and ate Dairy Queen for dessert. On Friday we get to see Purdue and Bloomington! Here are some touristy photos, nicer ones later:
