Ann Arbor is a lovely town in Michigan and we were lucky to stay with Carmel who is the sister of Alyson that Nicola and I went to High School with.
We drove up just as Carmel and a friend were getting back from a walk which was perfect timing. We then drove to one of the beautiful local parks - Carmels favorite - and went for a walk. Rather a brisk one actually which was fine although later I realised that maybe I would have been better to change out of my knee high boots. They are not really that hard to walk in but later on the whole front of my lower legs were hurting so I guess I used completely different legs muscles than in my other shoes.
Carmel works at the University of Michigan and she took us there and we drove or walked around part of the campus. There are some beautiful old buildings as well as a new one for the School of Business which cost something like 150 million dollars.
We came back and checked a few emails and made a few Skype calls before we headed out to a local restaurant that is a favorite of Carmels. It was great to go out and eat in a proper restaurant for dinner - something we haven't done much of. We then spent the rest of the night relaxing and sitting in Carmels cosy basement with a fire going.
