Day 2 of our road trip brought us to Ann Arbor, and Basil drove us right to Zingerman’s Deli for lunch. While Zingerman’s deserves it’s own entry and review, I will tease you with a photo instead.

 
That is one happy sandwich eatin’ man!

 
Shortly after we got to the restaurant and got our mammoth sandwiches, the power went out. There was a big thunderstorm going on when we arrived in Ann Arbor, but we were happily sitting outside under a big dining tent and didn’t even notice the power outage. 

 
When we have more time, I want Basil to show me around Ann Arbor. This is his college town, and he loves coming here. Both times we’ve been it’s been pouring down rain, and we’ve been just passing through. I’d love to spend a long weekend here with Basil, just the two of us so that he can really play tour guide.

 
See that Tower? According to Basil, students at University of Michigan climb to the top of the tower and hurl themselves off during final exams. A suicide tower? Man, those kids need a new major. When I was getting my Theatre degree, my final exams consisted of throwing a staged bar fight over pints of cheap beer at AC’s in downtown Charleston. 

 
GO BLUE!

Tomorrow, we’re off to  the Upper Peninsula!
