Detroit here we come

Said goodbye to Charlevoix with a final swim.




We drove seamlessly to Cathy's place in Rochester Hills which turns out to a lovely leafy suburb of Detroit. Cathy being the wonderful, kind soul that she is, welcomed us with open arms and a fabulous dinner of Caprese salad followed by a wonderfully garlicky shrimp pasta. We gave her a present  which we bought in Petoskey. I fell in love with Mata Ortiz pottery. Mata Ortiz is a remote Mexican village that is famed for the luminous black on black pottery. They use graphite in the slip and do an oxygen reduction firing.




We all went to bed and slept well. And now we're off to explore the delights of Detroit.
