fall color

Last Tuesday I drove to Ann Arbor from Chicago. It seemed to be the best time for fall color. I drove along I-94. The best part I saw is around the southeast corner of Lake Michigan, bordering Indiana and Michigan.

I drove back on Friday by M-12, then I-69, then I-90. On I-90 I dropped by the University of Notre Dame near South Bend. The place is nice. Feels like an oasis beside the big road. (I believe I felt that way simply because I didn't have a bigger picture of the area.) Buildings on the campus have a distinct religious feel. No surprise---ND is a Catholic university, "founded in 1842 by the Congregation of Holy Cross."
