   This was fun! More green spaces than I knew of since I was last on campus.

   I just visited Cornell for the first time in 20 years and so enjoyed the gardens and vistas. Haven’t seen some of the new ones yet!

   Wow! So many new beautiful spots on campus. I think for those whose graduation was prior to 1985, this is rather a tough exam!!

   A lot of new gardens that were not there when I went to Cornell. Things changed a lot!
