trip to Michigan

[low_delta]

Cyn and I went to East Lansing to visit Donna and Manolo this weekend. It was a nice weekend. We talked with them quite a bit, about Spain, politics, Spain, Manolo's work, etc. We visited the museum in Lansing, on saturday morning, since it was raining. It had quit by afternoon, so after lunch, we walked over to the MSU Horticulture gardens, and then to the Beal Botanical Garden. Donna and Manolo are so generous. They kept giving us things. Food, gifts - they were even handing us money, by the end of the visit!

I was so tired all weekend, after working so late on thursday night. I never quite got caught up on my sleep. After dinner on saturday night, I could barely keep my eyes open. I wanted to stop at Warren Dunes on the way back home today, but the line waiting to get in the park was a couple of miles long. I was looking forward to seeing the park again, but not that badly. Once we got back into Wisconsin, the weather turned bad. We skirted the edge of some nasty storms, and would have been in the middle of them, had we visited the dunes. The temperature was about 80 degrees when we got home - fifteen degrees cooler than it was an hour and a half south.

Here is a photo of our hosts...

Manolo and I look crazed on that sheep. I like it.
For a tired guy you did pretty well.

You'd better explain that handing you money stuff.
:D

We got all the storms that went through your area earlier.
Any problems driving through Chicago?

Can I repost your picture to my LJ?

The money? I suppose I should make sure people don't start flocking to your door. Sounds like you don't have time for any more guests. ;-)

You certainly may repost it. You're the subject. Besides it's already in your journal, more or less.

No, no trouble with traffic or rain. It was two hours, twenty minutes from the Indiana border.

We'll manage to see a few more people before we leave. There are even friends from Spain arriving here less than a week before we leave.
It's crazy but we're glad to see them.

It'll be so good to see you guys in Spain.
:)

I love that picture!! I LOL'ed. :) I like the look on Manolo's face. I'm glad you two missed the storm. It was pretty hairy for awhile there.

Looks like there's a goose in that photo too :-P

I love the gardens at MSU.

Good thing I didn't have anything in my mouth when I read your comment or it would now be all over my keyboard and screen.
You think that explains Manolo's look?
;D

It's similar to the look he had on the horse, isn't it?

[pondhopper.livejournal.com]

Hehehe...yes!
(I think we both look slightly crazed)
:P

Love the look on Manolo's face! LOL

I burst out laughing when I saw his face.
As Kevin said when her took the picture "It will be suitable for framing".
LOL

I just LOVE that picture... just priceless!

I'm sorry you were tired! I hope you had fun anyway?

It sounds like it was good that you didn't visit the dunes.
