Allerton Park is about 30 miles from Champaign-Urbana.  The arrangement for this picnic is not straightforward.  For one thing, it's the weather.  The other thing, to finally accommodate various preferences is an art that is specific to our event planner: Masayo.  Our thanks to you!!

We have just arrived.  Some were dealing with unloading the foods and all that.  Some, like Alejandro, were amazed by the surrounding view.  From left: Masayo, Nazmiye, Sueli, Nina, Alejandro, Ferhan, and Marcos.

This trip has been cancelled twice.  It is worth canceling, however, as the day we actually went is a very nice, warm, bright, and sunny day.  We found a spot by the lake and the barbeque is terrific.  Ferhan and Ibnu were taking care of the grill.  I was picking up something I don't remember.

A nice picnic lunch.  That's all there is. From left to right: Nazmiye, Kiyoshi (standing), Nina, Ferhan, Carolyn, Sergey, and me.

And the afterwards... from left to right: Sergey, Sandy, Ferhan, Marcos, Kiyoshi, Sueli and Nazmiye.
