Visiting ISU this summer

<p>Eating places…</p>

<p>Just north of campus a bit…The Cafe, Black Market Pizza.</p>

<p>Oddfellows burger kitchen near the mall.</p>

<p>West Street deli just west of campus. Delicious pastrami.</p>

<p>Downtown…Grove Cafe, Great Plains Sauce and Dough.</p>

<p>Campus town…Cafe Beaudelaire, Angie’s Cafe, any of the many Asian places</p>

<p>Main Street may be pretty dead on a Sunday. You might want to walk through the parts if campus that you did not visit on the tour. Often, they don’t go through the east side of campus where the old dorms are. That is a really pretty part of campus.</p>

<p>Reiman Gardens for a walk.</p>

<p>If your daughter has not done so, I would recommend reading some entries at <a href=“http://www.cyclonelife.net…you%5B/url%5D”>www.cyclonelife.net…you</a> might search for summer.</p>

<p>I think many of the students that stick around for the summer often hit the nearby parks like the Ledges, Ada Hayden, etc. You could drive about 20 miles to Madrid, do a 2 mile walk on the High Trestle Trail to the bridge and walk back. It is a fantastic multiuse trail, mostly used by bikes. After the walk, have a lunch at the Flat Tire Bar. You might be able to rent bikes.</p>

<p>We biked the trail a few weeks ago and saw lots of Iowa State people. ISU and the Ames area are very bike friendly.</p>
