Finally we got around to cleaning out and arranging our pictures from our trip to Michigan. We really chose the best weekend to go, as is spite of our earlier worries the weather was absolutely beautiful and warm, while the whole of Michigan was in the middle of a beautiful yellow/orange/brown fall foliage season.
On Friday we hang out with Ruti in Detroit, checked out her favorite Italian pizzeria and then went with Kirill to his place in Royal Oak (one of the suburbs of Detroit). On Saturday morning we went for a brunch in Birmingham (another suburb), where we had a celebrity spotting - Zach Braff from Scrubs. After spending some time playing in the local park (and Leo making yet another girl friend :) we went to the "Ford Village", a heritage park next to the Ford factory, where we saw a choo choo, got to meet Thomas Edison (!) and watched Ford Model-Ts drive around as taxis.
Saturday afternoon we drove to Ann Arbor, a small city (large town?) that's home to University of Michigan, where Ruti is finishing her PhD. It's a gorgeous place, especially in the fall, and we enjoyed a nice evening of food and drinks.
On Sunday we started the day off by going to a petting farm, where Leo met his first non-dog animals. As you'll see, some where more easy to pet than others, but we had a great time and Leo even went on a hay-ride behind a tractor with Tea and Ruti! We then went for brunch to the famous Zingermann's and did some shopping around Ann Arbor's arts market, before going for a walk in the arboretum that's just behing UoM's medical campus and having a mini-picnic.
Ruti, Kirill - thanks for the hospitality!!
