Go Blue. Back home.

 

 

Flying out and some unpublished photos.

Go Blue. Colors

 

One of the things I miss in Estonian autumn is the colours. Actually, to be honest, this is one of the many things I miss. More sun and much more daylight to name a few.

So when we traveled to the US in October, my expectations to experience the fall colours were obviously high and I could already see myself enjoying all those beautiful yellow, orange and red views. In reality, however, we got a green extension of the summer, that only during the last week there began to throw in some colours.

Go Blue. Ann Arbor

 

 

We also managed to go to Ann Arbor a couple of times. We did some shopping and visited Rebecca. We walked around in the city. We also went to see our former home and walked on our running paths in the woods. Since no new ones had emerged, we went to see one of David Zinn's earlier chalk drawings that’s preserved as permanent now. We found some new street art and admired their great bike lane solution.

Go Blue. Swings

I know. I've written about it before. I've been complaining about this before. But I can't not to mention it. Again. There are so many playgrounds in Michigan. Mostly relatively empty (in compare to Estonian ones). Which is completely understandable, because who would want to go to a playground, where the swings are cutting into hips of everyone who weighs more than 15 kilos!

Go Blue. Halloween vol. 2

We had planned to go to Detroit, check out our favourite abandoned buildings, eat in our favourite restaurants, take a walk on the Belle Isle. Well, plan better! There was a marathon in Detroit that day that closed the entire city center and riverside.

We still went to Indian Village, watched the squirrels and the house of The White Stripes (since I've never been the target audience of this band, I can't remember if it's Meg's or Jack's). In any case, they have decorated their house with skeletons, which will be wearing red hats for Christmas and probably red hearts for Valentine's Day. I haven't seen the latter, I just guess based on Christmas hats.
