Hampton Inn Detroit-Novi At 14 Mile Road, Mi Commerce

I am officially on my way to New York City (currently over Michigan!) and the trip is going well so far. The seat next to me on the plane is open, which always a bonus, AND our travel agent gave me a little upgrade which never hurts J

I am going to try to keep this blog as updated as possible… I hope you enjoy it!

Love,

Alexis

Take care, Maria

There's a old travel rule of thumb..."Never travel with more than you can run with for a quarter mile."

Gotta' work on that.

Thanks to 'Beca, Mark and Layla for their marvelous hospitality! It won't be three years again before we visit. Save the milkweed! Save the Monarchs!

... the synchronized sound of galloping horses in Rynek Glowny (Market Square), the indescribable beauty of the cathedrals, the meeting of a new friend named Kinga and of course my favorite Pierogi restaurant :) - I will remember the splendor of Vienna (every building, even the museum looks like a palace), the scent of lilacs from the city gardens, as well as the enchanting echo of the young adult choir we were so fortunate to hear at the Stephansdom Cathedral - I will remember the ...

... back and said, 'Come visit me. If you're ever in New York, I'd like to meet you.' So I did, and that's when, like-that's just before Destroy All Monsters was formed, and so my esthetic really came out of my time in New York with Jack Smith. He was my mentoring experience, and so I brought that back to Ann Arbor, and that became a part of the Destroy All Monsters thing. I was doing films, photography and collages that were in his vein of... camp and strange exotica ...
