University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

21.07.2006

My friend, Marianne (roommate of mine at University of Arizona many years ago), took us on a tour of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan yesterday. Ann Arbor is a really cool town, somewhat reminiscent of Berkeley, CA. The campus is huge! There is an art fair on campus this week, supposedly the biggest in the nation, and in 4 hours there we didn't see it all. We ate at a great vegetarian restaurant, had fun watching street entertainers, etc.

Northville, where Marianne lives, is a nice suburb of Detroit. The downtown is totally quaint - it could be the downtown in the movie "It's a Wonderful Life."

This blog site won't let us publish anymore photos until August - there's a 10 mb limit per month, and you can't even pay for more if you want to.... So when we get to Chicago in a couple days, we may start a new blog, maybe Howardstrip, so we can get more pix posted. Stay tuned!

By the way, the girls and I have passed through towns with some interesting names, like Ogallalla (NE), and Ypsilanti and Paw Paw (MI).

Hi girls,
I'm glad that you're having a fun trip. The adjustment from Germany took me a while but I'm getting there. It was great seeing Gordon at Celia's house.
Did you know that the paw paw is a plant?

Hey, this is Kirsten! I'm at the house washing laundry and hangin out with Dad. I got your postcard- carhenge looks interesting. You guys should do a livejournal (wwwlivejournalcom). You can have unlimited pics and you can comment without memebership and you can organize your page to have cool layouts and stuff. Plus its free and theres tons of instructions on how to work everything. And yeah, new name. Maybe howardtrippics or something like that if its going to be mainly for photos. Have a good trip!
