Ann Arbor
2 settembre 2023, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
We arrived safe and sound with a small delay of 30 minutes. As usual, it took some time to get through customs, but the interview went smoother than anticipated.
Tom and Nancy were already waiting for us and just 45 minutes later, we were back at Birte's foster home of her Fulbright Exchange.
Since we were quite tired, we only went on a short walk around the neighborhood and had a welcome beer with Tom and Nancy.
The next morning, I drank my coffee next to the hummingbird feeder and got some shots of this insanely fast bird. The video is in 8x slow motion and you still can't see much of its wings 🤯Leggi altro

Lazy Labor Day
4 settembre 2023, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
After an eventful Sunday, we took the Monday easy. It was Laborday, so many shops and museums were closed. We used the day to organize some stuff and went downtown to get ourselves icecream.
Back home, we relaxed on the garden deck and finally got a few shots of the Red Cardinal that frequently visits the garden.
When Tom and Nancy came home from a bike ride, they put a couple of gin bottles on the table, which they had bought on the way, so we finished the day with a small gin tasting! 🥤🧊Leggi altro

An evening at Jessi & Elliot's
5 settembre 2023, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
On Tuesday evening we and Adam were invited to Jessi and Elliot's place. They live a little ways outside Ann Arbor in Dexter in a beautiful house with a huge garden (with chickens!), a greenhouse, and a garage that is certainly every climbers dream!
They built the greenhouse just this year and it is truly nice out there, so we spent most of the evening in it and talked about bouldering areas, past vacations, and our upcoming trip.
The garage is insane! That is a place to get strong 🤯💪 ...if we ever grow up and get a place of our own, we need that, too 😬
It was a wonderful evening. Thank you for all the guide books, Jessi and Elliot! And thanks for the ride home (and more guide books), Adam!Leggi altro

Matthaei Botanical Gardens
8 settembre 2023, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
On Friday we went for a bike ride to the Matthaei Botanical Gardens. They have lots of cacti and succulents there. Outside, there are many bonsai trees on display, some of which were really old and impressive!
Afterwards, we went for a coffee to Dixboro before heading back to Ann Arbor.
Tom and Nancy were out riding their tandem, too. They suggested to meet at Townies, a small craft beer brewerie not far from the house. We had a beer there at the fire. They even served American-crafted Kölsch and Altbier!

All week we had been trying to watch a movie at the Michigan Theatre, but they are currently renovating one of their rooms, so there were almost no movies scheduled. The evening was still early and we wanted to go see a movie nonetheless, so we went to the State Theatre and watched Barbie instead 🤷Leggi altro

Tom's birthday
7 settembre 2023, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
After returning from Detroit, we immediately headed to The Earle Restaurant to celebrate Tom's birthday. The food was very good, but we most enjoyed the apéritif Tom suggested: Kir Royale, a Cocktail made of crème de cassis topped with champagne 😋
Back home Tom opened his gifts and we had some cake to fill the little room that was left in our stomaches...Leggi altro

Ypsilanti
5 settembre 2023, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Ypsilanti is a small town close to Ann Arbor. It is a university town as well and many people who can't afford to live in Ann Arbor move there. It has a historic neighborhood, Depot Town, with colorful old wooden houses and stone buildings.
Unfortunately, the Automotive Heritage Museum was still closed. But we could take a look through the window. There were many really old Cadillacs, Fords and Oldsmobiles in there.
We had coffee and a cinnamon roll at Hyperion Coffee, a meeting point for all the hip students.
Ypsilanti Downtown is a bit more run down, but you can at least get all your unicorn supplies here.Leggi altro

Good Bye Ann Arbor
11 settembre 2023, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
We spent our last day in Ann Arbor with a short bike ride to the Barton Dam, a small recreational area in the north of the town. There are some fancy houses all around the lake!

In the evening, we met with Ember again and played pool at the 8 Ball Saloon. It was a great last evening in A2.

The time here was such a blast and we really had a hard time leaving and saying Good Bye to Tom and Nancy. But now it's time for the road trip!Leggi altro

UofM & Planet Rock
6 settembre 2023, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
On Wednesday Birte was invited to give a short talk for her former research group at the University of Michigan. It was very nice to reconnect with her old colleagues and professors.
To kill the time until the talk, we went downtown to the university's art museum. They have an impressive collection considering it is "only" a university museum! Currently, several expressionists were on display, even some German ones like Max Beckmann and Otto Dix!
Later in the day we rode the bikes to Planet Rock, the local climbing and bouldering gym and had a nice session with the crew. Lots of athletic climbs and crimps in this gym. We like it 💪Leggi altro

Snarky Puppy at Hill Auditorium
10 settembre 2023, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Since we found Snarky Puppy on YouTube a while ago, we always wanted to see them live. There was one brief opportunity last year when I checked concert dates and realized that they played in Hanover the next day! It was during the week though and work was quite intense at that time, so we bailed out on the opportunity.
This year, while planning the US trip, we saw on Instagram that they would play in Ann Arbor in September, so we scheduled everything around the concert 😅
Tom and Nancy joined us. The concert took place at the Hill Auditorium, the largest and maybe oldest concert hall in Ann Arbor. It is really beautiful inside. We had seats on the highest balcony in the first row. Perfect view.
The concert was great! They played a couple of old songs, but most were from the new album. All in all they played around 2 hours and went all in throughout the whole concert. We really enjoyed it. However, when it comes to Jazz, I'll stay with my rule of thumb: the smaller the location, the better the experience.

(Video: I made no videos during the concert, but at the end I really wanted to capture one of the fantastic drum solos. Unfortunately, Findpenguins only allows 120s videos...so the re-entry of the rest of the band is missing here...)Leggi altro

Wolverines vs. UNLV
9 settembre 2023, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
We were lucky to arrive in time for the American Football season. Nancy told us that there would be a game on Saturday and invited us to her hospital group's tailgating.
We also asked Ember, one of Birte's good friends from her time in Ann Arbor, and she was up for it immediately. Somehow she even managed to get us free tickets! Thank you, Ember!
The city goes crazy during game days. Just imagine 109.000 people in a stadium in a city with only 120.000 inhabitants 🤯
In the vicinity of the stadium there are tailgating parties in many gardens, all public parks, and even on the golf course. Many house owners rent out their driveways and front yards as parking lots. You can smell barbecue at every corner and see people throwing footballs across parking lots and streets. Some people brought their own TVs and placed them in the back of the car to watch the live broadcast before the game begins.
After three hours of tailgating and playing Cornhole, we went into the stadium. It was quite impressive to enter it. Since we waited almost until the game began, the stadium was pretty much filled already. Stepping out of the entry tunnel it got loud and bright. Blue and yellow everywhere. The marching band, the dancing group and the cheerleaders were firing up the crowd, T-Shirts were thrown up the first couple of rows, and in the background you could see the large amount of football players enter the stadium under a roar of the fans and collective shouts of "Go Blue!".
The weird thing about an American Football games is that there is just no break for your senses. The game stops all the time, but as soon as the referee blows the whistle, the cheerleaders, dancers, a frisbee catching dog, and the huuuuge stadium screens take over to continue the constant entertainment. More than once, we missed single plays in a round because there was just so much other stuff going on 😵‍💫🙃
It was an intense and really fun experience.

On our way home from the stadium, we got ourselves some icecream to cool off. The sun had been shining mercilessly all day except for the morning, when it looked like it would start raining any minute, which caused us to forget to put sun screen on. A mistake we would see and feel for days to come...Leggi altro
