The next morning, July 8, I took a short walk and passed the Frances Willard house
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0679
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0680
before we began our drive past Gary, Indiana
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0681
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0682
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0683
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0684
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0685
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0686
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0687

../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0689
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0690
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0691
and down the highway
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0692
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0693
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0694
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0695
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0696
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0697
with our directions
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0698
that took us through the Indiana Toll Road
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0699
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0700
where we paid our toll
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0701
and made our way to the IHOP at Benton Harbor, Michigan
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0702
where the bathroom had a great collection sign with all details
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0703
as we ordered our drinks
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0704
and Jane tried to recover
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0705
as my self portrait
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0706
brought out her cereal
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0707
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0708
but my sour dough toast took a while to prepare.
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0709
While in Benton Harbor, we also went to Wal Mart to get Tylenol but we were happy to hit the road to Ann Arbor
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0710
where this gentleman checked us into the Bell Tower
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0711
and our room looked like this
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0712
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0713
with a view of our car in the parking lot
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0714
Because we were rushed, I got this sandwich
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0715
following the advice on the neon sign
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0716
and Jane got this sandwich
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0717
as Jane
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0718
and I
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0719
realized that Jimmy John's was a restaurant with a lot of guidance
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0720
and much signage
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0721
to behold.
After we finished the tour, we rested and then went to explore the town where we found the Seva restaurant
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0722
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0723
and once correcting our settings realized that it had been a VFW hall
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0724
before taking on the Seva name.
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0725
Before eating, we explored the car show in town which had caused us large delays in getting to the hotel. There were fancy cars
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0726
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0727
and old cars
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0728
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0729
and a fire engine
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0730
another old car
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0731
a Ferrari that Jane posed with
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0732
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0733
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0734
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0735
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0736
and car engines where you could see distributor caps
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0737
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0738
not to mention these midget cars that you enter through the front windshield
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0739
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0740
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0741
and this deux chevaux (2CV)
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0742
which set the stage to head back to Seva
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0743
and read the menu
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0744
while Jane
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0745
and the waitress
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0746
were amused as the drinks arrived
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0747
and we admired the hot sauce
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0748
and the best French (aka freedom) fries we've had in a long time
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0749
as Jane had the ravioli
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0750
and I had the pasta
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0751
which made my self portrait
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0752
and the second beer
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0753
feel even better even as the waitress took a picture of Jane and me
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0754
and told us her interpretation of the name of the restaurant which we tried hard to write to remember
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0755
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0756
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0757
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0758
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0759
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0760
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0761
so that we could go to the chocolate shop
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0762
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0763
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0764
and buy this chocolate for Jane
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0765
from this sales person
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0766
and then head back to the hotel where we saw this wonderful sign
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0767
and thanked the hotel staff for their dinner advice.
