Day 2 in Detroit , actually Dearborn

On Monday we went to The Henry Ford, in Dearborn, MI. Henry collected stuff, all kinds of unique memorabilia. His focus was on interesting American inventions and artifacts. The collection included a wiener-mobile, the limousine Kennedy was shot in and the rocking chair Lincoln was shot in. There was a very cool, metal, round, pre-fab house designed in the 20's. There was also an outside area with people dressed is period clothes and many old buildings where you could see how things were made. We had a brief ride in a model T. The day was pretty interesting, but fairly expensive and hot.

Detroit has certain similarities with the Twin Cities. Ford plants, TCF bank, Northwest Airlines, I 94. One difference noted is that in the Detroit area, tire parts are strewn all over the freeways. Why is this? It appeared as if there are blow outs every few minutes, and yet we witnessed none. Do tires not blow out in other parts of the country? Is there an air pressure problem in the Detroit area? Hmmm. Maybe you could make a comment about this, if you have an opinion to share. In fact, we would appreciate any sort of comment on any sort of topic. Is anyone out there? Sarah, do you have anything else to say? Have you enjoyed the mileage information? By the way, it continues to average in the high 50's.

From Detroit, we headed on to Toronto. Yes, we are leaving the USA and visiting Canada.
