Furman University

Ds has enjoyed the art (drawing, cartooning) classes he has taken through Furman University’s Lifelong Learning program.

Whether or not you take a class, check out Furman Lake. You can’t wade/swim or feed the ducks. The water isn’t the cleanest either. However, there is a very bike friendly path around the entire lake. (I don’t recommend it for roller blades or scooters- too bumpy.) There is a bell tower at one end. You can climb half way up the winding metal staircase. The rose garden on the campus side of the lake is worth visiting in season. There are also plenty of shady places to have lunch or a snack.

We're thinking about trying some of the youth sports programs held there in the summer. Oh, and though I haven’t attended the July 4th celebration there yet, I hear the university does it up right.
