Or really… what’s up there? I have never been up to the skywalk on the third floor of BR and this gave me a reason to go up there and see what it was all about. When I walked out, no one else was out there. There were two table/chair things that were connected sort of like a picnic table except all the chairs were separate. They were silver and had the same pattern as picnic tables do. Sort of like the lattice that is found on top of pies.

In addition to the tables, there was a sort of garden on the side. I couldn’t tell if it was a herb garden or just some flowers that were starting to be out of season. They didn’t have a lot of colors and the beds weren’t super full. 

One thing I remember vividly was the stone/tiles that were out there. They were a light grey and pretty smooth. They also moved when you walked. Not all of them, but enough to make a person worried. I think my watch thought I was working out because my heart rate increased all of the sudden.

The view was very pretty, you could see a lot of campus from up there. Especially now with all of the trees changing colors. There were a few people walking around, but nothing crazy like when classes get out. It didn’t smell like much which was actually very nice. I was afraid that the experience and view would be ruined by the iconic Sioux City smell. 

Overall, it was pretty peaceful. You could hear some trains in the distance, but nothing crazy loud. It was, however, very windy out. My hair was flying everywhere. The sun was also shining so it made for a nice fall day.
