Monday, 6th April: Middlebury – Ann Arbor
Woke up to the see the world covered in a blanket of snow.
Breakfast at the beehive.
Were given 2 xhome made applebutter (a type of applesauce) one for us and one for our friend we are visiting in NY.
Into middlebury and then on to Shipshewana, saw lots of buggies and amish. I only know this way of life from the movies and so it seems odd to see people dressed in traditional costumes. Looks like a permanent fancy dress party!
Went to menno-hof museum to learn more about the Mennonites, Hutterites and Amish.
Back for lunch to Middlebury at the Village inn where the Amish come to eat.
Julia ordered the goulash – didn’t quite live up to her expectations.
On the road to Ann Arbour.
Quick drive through the university town – twinned with tuebingen, germany.
Checked in motel 6 – very new and modern.
Julia got dinner – difficult to find a supermarket –mainly just McDonals around. No change here.
Watched march madness basketball game (Michigan State versus South Carolina) and updated the blog.
Oh - Michigan just lost. Shame.
