before we began our drive past Gary, Indiana
The next morning, July 8, I took a short walk and passed the Frances Willard house
before we began our drive past Gary, Indiana

that took us through the Indiana Toll Road
where we paid our toll
and made our way to the IHOP at Benton Harbor, Michigan
where the bathroom had a great collection sign with all details
as we ordered our drinks
and Jane tried to recover
as my self portrait
brought out her cereal
but my sour dough toast took a while to prepare.
While in Benton Harbor, we also went to Wal Mart to get Tylenol but we were happy to hit the road to Ann Arbor
where this gentleman checked us into the Bell Tower
and our room looked like this
with a view of our car in the parking lot
Because we were rushed, I got this sandwich
following the advice on the neon sign
and Jane got this sandwich
as Jane
and I
realized that Jimmy John's was a restaurant with a lot of guidance
and much signage
to behold.
After we finished the tour, we rested and then went to explore the town where we found the Seva restaurant
and once correcting our settings realized that it had been a VFW hall
before taking on the Seva name.
Before eating, we explored the car show in town which had caused us large delays in getting to the hotel. There were fancy cars
and old cars
and a fire engine
another old car
a Ferrari that Jane posed with

not to mention these midget cars that you enter through the front windshield
and this deux chevaux (2CV)
which set the stage to head back to Seva
and read the menu
while Jane
and the waitress
were amused as the drinks arrived
and we admired the hot sauce
and the best French (aka freedom) fries we've had in a long time
as Jane had the ravioli
and I had the pasta
which made my self portrait
and the second beer
feel even better even as the waitress took a picture of Jane and me
and told us her interpretation of the name of the restaurant which we tried hard to write to remember

and buy this chocolate for Jane
from this sales person
and then head back to the hotel where we saw this wonderful sign
and thanked the hotel staff for their dinner advice.
