Miles travelled: 286 mi.
Major roads travelled: I-76, I-80
Destination facts learned: The electrocardiogram and the polio vaccine were invented at the University of Michigan. / The arboretum of Ann Arbor, often referred to as the “Arb,” is huge ... very huge. / It stays light outside extremely late into the evening in the summer time here. (I was convinced it was 6 pm until I looked at my cell phone clock, which read 9:45 pm.)
Funny lines of the day:
“It has been shown that if children are hungry, they will eat [vegetables].” ~ Yaseen (on training young children who refuse to eat vegetables)
“You can’t miss it here. Look, there’s another one. The march of the Prius.” ~ Yaseen (on the overwhelming number of hybrid vehicles in Ann Arbor)
Shout outs:
-We are deeply indebted to Yaseen Oweis, Prince of Huron Towers, and his trusty steed, the Diplomat. No where else on this fine earth have we encountered such resourcefulness and ingenuity ... or as many working computers in a palace boasting the greenest view of all of Ann Arbor.
-Amanda, YiJia, Oliver, and Ivy--what a beautiful family! Thanks for having us over to your lovely home.
