The Menil Collection

We took the day off and saw the Menil Collection in Houston. It includes the Rothko Chapel (pictured), the Byzantine Fresco Chapel,  a Dan Flavin installation and a museum filled with John and Dominique de Menil's private collection.  And it's all free!

The Museum campus includes a park with impressive Southern Live Oaks .
Also impressive, Mike climbs it to see who left their drink up there

And he finds an interesting message inside

Our last day at the university, finishing is required

While Mike packs up

Some last chance buffing. Once the scaffolding is dismantled,  we won't be able to reach most of the wall

This place will be filled with students in the fall

End of day 21, we return home in Kate's truck with everything from the site
