This was perhaps the most perfect spring day ever, if I remember correctly -- it was just warm enough and just sunny enough and there was a light breeze, and so the Quad was of course absolutely covered with people. Frisbees were flying everywhere, towels were laid out, and here in the back portion, some more quiet activity. What a great day.
