Hi everyoneJ
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. We did the sky walk, enjoyed the lighting and walked through the
streets looking at the impressive architecture. We finished our day with a
dinner in a sweet traditional pub, watching hockey match. On Sunday we planned
to visit the Niagara Falls on the Canadian site. Thank you Jack for your great
advise! As it was freezing cold, we soon
decided, to do the walk on the river front and to discover the sweet town
instead of taking the expensive boat ride. Luckily, even though it was quite
cold the sun was shining and the sky was blue. So we were able to enjoy a great
outlook and were able to take some nice pictures. After we had driven back and
had nervously passed the border, we had dinner in a typical American Diner. 
On the last weekend we did a great trip up-north with Sarah
and her colleagues. We were a great
group and so we had a lot of fun. Unfortunately, we didn’t have luck with the
weather this time and it was raining all Saturday long. But we did not mind and
kept on visiting the cute Mackinac City and the amazing Tahquamenon Falls.
After a typical American Sunday brunch in Saint Ignace we took the ferry to
Mackinac Island. This beautiful little island is my favorite place in the U.S.
so far. The traditional architecture of the buildings is amazing. Moreover, it
is perfect for a relaxing weekend trip, because unlike to the American way of
life there are no cars on the island. So you can just enjoy a walk, do a
bicycle tour around the island or do horseback riding. As Sarah and I love
animals and miss our pets so much, we decided to do an hour of horseback
riding. Since Nicole and I don’t have a lot of experience with horses, we were
quite afraid. But after a few minutes we learned to trust Buck, Beauty and Angi
and enjoyed every minute of the ride. After heating up with hot cider we drove
back to Royal Oak.
