On the evening of my arrival, my colleague took me out for dinner at Bahamas Breeze, where I placed an order for a small woodfired pizza and was amazed when my order came through because it looked like I had ordered an extra large pizza.

On Friday, my supervisor picked me up and we went to the Cheesecake Factory up on Keystone for lunch. Again, my dish was so large -- it was fit for a king.

Friday evening I was invited to the Evening of Angels, which Christle De Haan organized. I even managed to get a picture with the Mayor of Indianapolis.

On Saturday morning, we took a drive to downtown Indianapolis.

Sunday morning arrived and we were all excited as we had tickets to the Formula 1-racing event. After Michael Schumacher won, we went of to the International Bazaar in Lafayette for dinner.

Monday, I was exhausted and stayed in for the evening.

On Tuesday, however, we went out to the Fox and Hound for Drinks and to catch a Cubs match.

On Wednesday, I was invited to Sandy’s, "my work mom" for fondue with her family.

Quick Tips:

If you are going out for dinner, do not eat lunch as the helpings are huge. And always carry a photo ID with you with your age on it.

Best Way To Get Around:

Walk so you see everything. Public transport is not easily accessible. You can take a carriage ride for and see downtown.

Restaurant

Great atmosphere, exquisite menue about 20 pages of choices. Excellent interior decor. Great for lunchtime meetings, romantic dinners for two, or just plain hanging out with friends.

We went over to see a Cubs game and to shoot a game of pool and hang out and have a few drinks. Do not forget to take your ID as they will not allow you in.

It is huge and they have all their outside functions at the White River State Park.

The walkways around the river is very nice and there are places to sit and paddle boats that you could paddle around for a fee.
