If you are EVER in the south central Michigan area, definitely, DEFINITELY, visit the Travelers Club and Tuba Museum in Okemos! This great restuarant serves a different ethnic/national food theme each month, in addition to a full line of 'regular' food and beers. HOW'S THIS for a delicious Swedish dinner? We had split pea soup, smoked white fish, pickled herring, rye bread with herb butter, haroset (applesauce, cinnamin and ...

Phew... Going through US Customs was a bit trying... No searching but a lot of questions meant - I supposed - to catch us with something bad... Who knows. We did not loose any meal. We're in the middle of a fairground, with a weak WiFi but OK. The only analog TV channels are from Detroit but the Detroit area offers 22 digital channels, many <br><br>Longer day than expected but we grinded the flying condo to a halt.

... Michigan. We walked around the downtown college streets. For lunch we went to an amazing restaurant called Gratzies. This week in Ann Arbor is called Restaurant Week. Each restaurant has some sort of special going on. For $12 we got soup or salad, an entree, and dessert. Oh, was it good! Every vacation I go on with these girls, there is one really good meal ...

... from his place. We went there. He hadn't been in a little bit either. It was good for him to see some familiar faces and reconnect. I met Martin Mathias and James Herrmann there and Martin told me that he heard a good deal about me from Mark Woods in DC. That's Mark. Martin opened up the main hall to show me. It's quite the facility. It's cool to think that our members in Chicago get to practice in such a neat looking place. I'll have to come back for sure ...

Friends and supporters organized a rally at Crisler Arena on the campus of the University of Michigan set for December 10, 1971. The organizers hoped the "John Sinclair Freedom Rally" would be a major event, drawing attention to the grave injustice that kept Sinclair locked up. But filling the 15,000-seat arena worried Sinclair. "So I was very concerned. I thought it would ...

Hi all I have, finally, started blogging again. It took me a while to get my heart settled to be able to blog again - my physical body is here but my heart has been everywhere. As I said, I would move my blog to somewhere else and I wanted a non travel related and more permanent sapce. I found the space and here is the link - www.yaiyaicat.blogspot.com. Please come and visit! It will be nice to have you there. See you!
