Cleveland Rocks!

Escanaba MI to Cleveland via Detroit (10/19-10/20):

After an early start from Escanaba, we broke up our long drive to Cleveland with a brief stop in Detroit. We saw the graveyard of a ruined carmaker and then had lunch in Greektown, where a waiter set our cheese on fire and screamed "Opa!!" at the top of his lungs, much to our astonishment. I was surprised at the number of Arab waiters in a Greek restaurant until I remembered that Detroit and the surrounding area is a major Arab center in the U.S. We were also a bit surprised to find Canada so close to Detroit, just over the river.

We then spent some time in Cleveland with a lovely visit to Brad's mom and stepfather. In addition to a heated game of Scategories, we took in some beautiful fall foliage on a bike ride through Cuyahoga National Park and spent some time with our bunnies.
