Indian-NO-place

October 13, 2010

Indianapolis is not so "NO PLACE" for us.  Its the first stop on our trek towards I-70 so we are laying over for the night to say goodbye to"Aunt Renee".  We couldn't leave town without a trip to my favorite Indianapolis restaurant!

Barcelona Tapas downtown on the corner of Delaware and Ohio

TAPAS!  TAPAS!  TAPAS!

Tantalizing our Tell-Tale Tastebuds Terrifically!

What a feast!  Even Morgan tried everything that we ordered from beef tips with mushroom sherry sauce to cauliflower with raisins, sundried tomatoes and garlic and salmon with a creamy caper overlay. 

The last of the summer's Dahlias-looking pretty in Aunt Renee's bowl.....do you think she is going to eat those pumpkins?  I'm sure the eggplant is going to wind up on her table.

Morgan, never been to Monument Circle?  You have now!

Lets not forget that Aunt Renee was injured recently.  Her physical therapy is coming along fine even though we think she is now inhabited by aliens.
