Colorful Michigan…

Hi everyone J It is almost November - it is getting colder and colder in Michigan, there is already frost during the night and my internship is already halfway done. I cannot believe that the time has passed so fast. During the last weekends Nicole and I were traveling to Canada and up-North, where we were able to enjoy the colorful trees and the changing vegetation. At Nicoles’ first weekend we travelled to Toronto with her new car, which did a great job driving through seasons’ first snow storm. Unfortunately, we arrived quite late and were only able to see this great city by night.

As Niko and Merle are already gone, it is quite empty and quiet in the AutoCom office… I hope both of them had a relaxing flight and arrived safely back home. I wish Niko all the best for his future and an amazing road trip across California. Do not forget to share some pictures with us!!! Fortunately, Merle is still part of our team, and I am so happy that I can carry on and bother her with lots of questions!   Since I spent the last two weekends relaxing in Royal Oak and visiting the great malls nearby, it was time to discover other places in the USA.   As the leaves are already changing colors, my friend Sarah and I decided to catch the last shafts of sunlight in the North of Michigan.  After an exhausting five-hour drive, we finally arrived at our first attraction – The “Sleeping Bear Dune.”   Surprisingly instead of a hiking trail, one discovered the national park by car. We were very impressed by the ov
