  • Pittsburgh night

    2. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    I went with Mike to the second tallest learning center in the world at the University at Pittsburgh. Then we checked out a Rad day event and watched a few short films from the Ann Arbor film festival. They were so very bad. We both agreed we would never forget how horrible they were. And we laughed.Læs mere

  • Time with Tyler

    3. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    I met up with Tyler and we hung out all day. It felt nice to relax with a friend. Mainly a movie day. I showed off the beginning of my Halloween costume. Then we headed out in our Wal-Mart attire and got dinner and red gloves to add to my costume.Læs mere

  • Morning walk

    5. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    I started my day walking the trail at Cuyahoga National Park. It's a very long trail and I only did a few miles of it, because I wanted to check out the Cleveland Federal Reserve.

  • Getting lost

    5. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    I found an app that was able to show me where free and cheap parking was. I parked at the bus station and headed off on foot. I thought I was going the right direction, but nope when I finally checked I had walked 3 miles in the wrong direction.Læs mere

  • Cleveland

    5. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    I wanted to make it to the federal reserve, but getting lost put a damper into that. I just walked around for a bit. I headed back to my host's, Anna and Scott, house. This host was particularly interesting. They called their place the "Couchhouse." They host about 500-1000 people every year. They are really cool and were also hosting Yasser at the same time. He's a med student from Egypt. We all talked for a while, eating and ignoring the movie that was on the tv.Læs mere

  • Duck tape factory

    6. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    I just happened to see this off the side if the road. I went to check it out and see if they have a tour. Turns out they did, however it was by by appointment only. They said I could join, but it was a special needs group and I didn't want to deal with that. Another time. Plus there's also the manufacturing plant in North Carolina that I could check out too.Læs mere

  • Ann Arbor

    6. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    I met up with Patrick and his girlfriend, Camille, from couchsurfing. They showed me around the area. We ate at Frita's. Really good food. Then we walked around. I got to see how huge UM really is. Gigantic! I wish I would have applied there and possibly gotten in. The school is amazing. I also found this really cool shop where you make your own Halloween costume, but I forget what it is called.Læs mere

  • Walking the Arb

    6. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    I went walking with Patrick and his girlfriend through the Arb, which is a trail area maintained by the University of Michigan. We walked for about an hour and had really good conversation about both liking and disliking Texas and the hot weather.Læs mere

  • Plymouth

    6. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    I met up with my host, Adam. He showed me around the downtown area. Not much going on. There was a cheap movie theater that showed older films that are not yet on DVD. They also had a cool display of homemade scarecrows for Halloween. Then We went to this neat coffee shop. We were hanging out when this guy came over and started doing awesome card magic tricks. He let me keep the card with my initials on it that he used for a few of the illusions. If you want to check him out: http://skindellmagic.com/Læs mere

  • Riverwalk

    7. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    My host let me know a free place to park to check out the riverwalk. I started walking around, but didn't do a lot of it. It was pretty and apparently Canada is literally right across the way. I started walking to another point of interest and to get some exercise.Læs mere

  • Heidelberg project

    7. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    This place was suggested from a lot of sources, however I wasn't impressed. It was actually kinda sad. It was an abandoned area that they tried to decorate with random junk to make the city more artistic maybe. It was definitely a unique place and I was a bit entertained that a lot of locals didn't even know about it.Læs mere

  • From the car

    7. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    I drove out to Belle Isle and looked around. Then I got a little tired of the city and looking for parking, so I took a few pictures from my car. Maybe I'll go back one day and do it right or not. I'm looking forward to getting back to nature again.Læs mere

  • Jiffy factory

    8. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Of coarse I'm visiting another factory. Not the most interesting tour, but super nice people. They did give out free muffins and two free boxes of Jiffy mix at the end of the tour. Always interesting to see how things are made. The really cool thing about this tour was that the president and CEO Howard "Howdy" Holmes cane and said hi to us. That was kinda cool and apparently he does that a lot.Læs mere

  • Back to the mundane

    8. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    I met up with my host, Kara, and we chatted for a while. She's so nice and accomplished a lot with her life already. I helped her do stone house work and went with her to help pack up her fiancee's house. It felt nice to do house work again. They also treated me to a great steak dinner. Great day.Læs mere

  • Corn Maze

    9. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    The weather wasn't so great all day, so Kara and Ben thought it would be nice to bring me to my first corn maze. We finished the maze in a little under 40 minutes. It was interesting and I want to go to another and play the games too.Læs mere

  • Game night

    9. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    As soon as I arrived at Kara's house I was so excited to see board games. Only had time to play one round of Smallworld and a few rounds of Zombie Dice, but still a fun night.

  • Indiana State Museum

    10. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    I met up with Dan and Enid and they brought me around the museum. It had everything from interactive to history. Nice museum. Then we rode around and I realized that I had visited Indianapolis before when I saw the center of the city.Læs mere

  • Indy 500 Museum

    11. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    I went around with Dan and Enid and saw the history of the Indy cars. Lots of cars in there and a lot more history than I can truly appreciate. The chill part was sitting inside one of the cars. I couldn't reach the pedals!Læs mere

  • Ride on the track

    11. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    We also went for a lap around the track in a bus. I filmed the whole experience and will eventually load it to YouTube. I did learn that the highest speed recorded was about 241 and that now the cars are more standardized to allow the racers to compete based on skill and not technology.Læs mere

  • Pumpkin patch

    11. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    We headed over to a pumpkin patch. Interesting to see how randomly they grow. They had a few other activities to participate in like a corn maze, but I truly enjoyed the candy apple. It was delicious.

  • Arriving to Chicago

    12. oktober 2015, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    I made it to Chicago. As soon as I got to Rob's, my host, house I could tell it was going to be fun. I walked in to find Megan, another couchsurfer, had made chili and cinnamon rolls for dinner before she headed out to the Cub's game. Rob and I waited until the German girls got in to start eating. We had a really fun night talking and drinking.Læs mere
