After a semi-confusing but exceedingly pleasant morning at Arbor Vitae and the surrounding food establishments we made our departure to Detroit. The drive was not bad at all; I'm guessing this was due to a majority of people being at Thanksgiving celebrations. Speaking of which, there was an NPR progam discussing people who couldn't make it to be with their family and compatriots. During the call in period we kept spacing out on the digits to call in but, coincidentally, the next three or four people to call in described a particular facet of our situation quite well. Or at least it seemed like it. I was in need of coffee and feeling slightly disassociative.
In approximately an hour, we made it to Detroit. Our exceptionally hospitable host, Erin, had left us a key hidden on the porch so we could let ourselves in, as she was out of town until later in the evening. So, not knowing what to do in Detroit, we checked it out via internet and sat around being congested and eating pretzels.
Eventually we began to gain the hunger and decided to find a grocery store. Alas, they were all closed so we retired to the house again. I found a "market" by the name of Marcus Mart and decided to check it out, leaving James at the house to greet Erin who would soon be home. Marcus Mart was no grocery store but they had frozen pizza, extra cheese, and decent beer. When I got back we made super Thanksgiving pizza by adding lots of caramelized garlic, tomato, and lots of extra mozz.
YARRRR PIZZZA WAUGHHH
Later we met Amy, Erin's roomie, and chilled out for a bit, watching 'Home Alone'.
Afterward we went to The Old Miami, a vet type bar with a killer back yard. It was quite cold though.
