Detroit Dancing

Today was our first full day of dancing at the 60th National Square Dance Convention at the Cobo Center in downtown Detroit. What a whirl of a day--lots of callers (like Jerry Story and Barry Clasper and Ken Ritucci and Joe Saltel and Betsy Gotta and Eric Henerlau) keep us on our toes. We've seen and danced with lots of our friends from the Rio Grande Valley and some of the new friends we've made at the last two weekends of dancing.

Here's the fairgrounds we're camped at.

The Detroit River is right behind the Cobo Center. That's the bridge to Windsor Canada in the background.

The bus system is not really working too well for us. The 9:00 bus we tried to catch this morning was full, and we had to leave the dance early to catch the 10:00 p.m. bus home or we'd have had to wait an hour for the 11:00 p.m. bus... Tomorrow will be a better day!
