Packed up car, went to bakery down the street with the rest of the household and had a portion of the most delicious pumpkin cookie ever. Eventually we left and started heading out to Ann Arbor.
Just before we left Buffalo I realized the GPS was giving us directions through Canada so we rerouted through Cleveland instead.
Observing all of the dilapidated structures as we drove out of Buffalo was fun. The sky was pretty overcast and grey and even though we were driving around the lakes we never even got to see them.
About 2 hours outside of Ann Arbor ice began to fall out of the sky but it wasn't all that bad really.
Highlights from the drive:
-The River Raisin
-the prolificness of european city names around here, Toledo, Paris, London(well thats in Canada but whatever),etc
-and a car wreck that blocked off half the interstate.
We made it to Ann Arbor around 8:30 and met up with Ian, a friend of Malia. He lives in this mind blowing space called Arbor Vitae, with four other people, and they hold shows there occasionally. It used to be a speakeasy and a dance hall.
Wow, so Ann Arbor is really nice. It feels wayyy safer and cleaner than any of the cities we have recently been to. I guess this is due to it being a college town.
Later we went out with Alx, one of Ian's roomies, and some other people, whose names I forget, to this place under The Blind Pig, The 8 Ball. It was a dive bar of sorts, the whole place smelled of vom but they had pool tables and a good jukebox, plenty of space.
And that's Ann Arbor
This is a cat at Arbor Vitae. Unreal cute factor
