    I didn't look at the museum part of this McDonald's, but I did get my picture taken with the largest big Mac.

    Pittsburgh night

    October 2, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 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.Read more

    Time with Tyler

    October 3, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 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.Read more

    Morning walk

    October 5, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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

    October 5, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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.Read more

    Cleveland

    October 5, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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.Read more

    Duck tape factory

    October 6, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 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.Read more

    Ann Arbor

    October 6, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 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.Read more

    Walking the Arb

    October 6, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 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.Read more

    Plymouth

    October 6, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 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/Read more

    Riverwalk

    October 7, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 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.Read more

    Detroit murals

    October 7, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    On my walk I got to see all these really cool paintings. They are all over the city, but most of these were off riverwalk path.

    Heidelberg project

    October 7, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 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.Read more

    From the car

    October 7, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 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.Read more

    Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum

    October 7, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    I was tired of hanging around Detroit so I headed out to this quirky shop that roadside America suggested to check out. I didn't stay long or play anything, but it was definitely a real different place to check out.Read more

    Jiffy factory

    October 8, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 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.Read more

    Back to the mundane

    October 8, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 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.Read more

    Corn Maze

    October 9, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 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.Read more

    Game night

    October 9, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 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

    October 10, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 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.Read more

    Indy 500 Museum

    October 11, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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!Read more

    Ride on the track

    October 11, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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.Read more

    Pumpkin patch

    October 11, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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

    October 12, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 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.Read more
