Kicked off the first leg of my return with a nice easy day. I was headed toward Ann Arbor for the the day, but first I made a stop at Cuyahoga Valley. The road to the falls was undergoing renovations, but I enjoyed stretching my legs a bit, and checking out the visitors center that occupies the old historic mill.
Could have stayed longer, but I was pretty excited to see Ann Arbor, it’s a town I’ve wanted to see for a while, and it didn’t disappoint! Lots of bookstores, most of which were closed for the holiday, but there were a few people selling books out of boxes on the sidewalk. Definite college town vibes, but lots of neat old buildings as well, tons of brick, and a few historic buildings scattered about. Wandered around town for a while, working up an appetite.
Once I was properly hungry, I went back to a place I’d noticed on my walk, and ordered one of my favorite meals. Gotta say, it was some of the best food I’ve had on this trip, right up there with the gumbo in Memphis, and that sandwich in Cambria. I’ve always had a soft spot for good, proper ramen though, and this was maybe the second best I’ve ever had. Definitely helped that I was pretty hungry by this point!
All in all, a very lovely way to kick off my return trip. I’m glad I took it pretty easy today, because the next few days were long ones. Just off the tail of one now! But I’ll save that for next time. Till then!
Where’s George?
