blogil: Ann arbor weekend and 2nd Springfield from june

I sent the photos but now it’s story time

So it’s Saturday morning and alla picks me up and we go hiking- with a group of 40 others – we arrive a few minutes late and miss the group- so we go alone- walking in rocky river national park

And the trails look like the above photo mostly- green all around

This is alla by the way

So after the hike we go to the movies- the hulk-a very good movie for an action movie anyway- good actors- and fun to watch- not an oscar though

And I tell her about an ABBA cover band in detroit the next day

She is spontanious and agrees to come- so that evening we drive to detroit- reach ann arobor michingan which is a suberb (so michigan became state 20)

After 3 hours hike + movie + 3.5 hours drive- I am sleepy but we go to a party- we find the night life site and see a place called the blind pig

We go in – and smoke is all around- michigan does not have the non smoking law- and there is a cover charge- but I see weird looking people which looks strange so we go in

And you have see the photos….crasy freaks all around- barely dressed and having fun.

I even drink! I dont really care for vodka or crann berries but the combination is good- I get it without ice- so more vodka… and get 2 of those – we stayed there till almost closing time – and left smelling like an ashtray – but with a lot of photos and unforgetable memories (and some memories we want to forget!)

Next morning we found the Deli in ann arbour- ‘zingerman’ we came in early which was great- we were told that people wait an hour in line later… great chockolate milk- so rich, very good sandviches – the 2^nd half was our late lunchh- from there we moved to the arboretum- a small flora park

I finalyy got a good squirll photo- and ate some berries

(tut etz)

This is the huron river

And from there we drive to rochester hills – north of detroit – stop at a lake on the way

The house is next to the lake- and in case of fire- you don’t take watter from the lake but from the fire hydrent next to it- those are special anti fire water

And move on to the weekend highlight – ABBA

The band is called ABBA the tour and we have lawn tickets which were a bit too far- but we sing the entire show (or I sing mostly)- ABBA surprised me with some unknows songs- but included all the hits- and next to us on the long sits an israeli family- what are the odds- so they give us KFC and we give them duvshaniot.

Then we drive back- and the main highway is closed! So we have to detour – the long drive back I wnet to sleep at 3:50 to wake at 5 for my current trip.

So from Saturday to Friday

Ohio, michigan, ohio, goeargia, south carolina, goeargia, south carolina again (ibu went the wrong way again) goergia, north carolina (airport), fun night at kansas city missoury, nebreska in 1.5 hours and back to ohio tommorow.

But the carolinas don’t count- so nebreska will be my 22^nd state
