Last Dance

We caught the 10:00 a.m. bus to the Cobo Center and danced for an hour before lunch. We ate our picnic lunch on the River Walk, sitting by the Detroit Princess with a view of the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Canada.

After lunch we visited the River Days celebration and toured a tall ship, the Appledore IV. These tall ships are used mainly for environmental education. They are outfitted very similarly to fulltime RVs. The crews live aboard the ships.

Coast Guard vessel at River Days offered tours, but we preferred to head back to the Cobo Center to dance.

We had a wonderful time dancing this afternoon with Klaus and Uushii, Dieter and Martina, and Les and Deb.

We met up with Bob and Pat in the Advanced hall and went to the RenCen for supper at the food court again.  On our way in, we ran into Jerry and Kristy Story. Jerry complimented us on our taste in dining facilities. Bob and Pat invited us up to their room to rest again (thanks, friends!).

We walked along the river back to Cobo Center. We enjoyed dancing to some really good callers again today, including David Heffron, Bill Harrison, and Doren McBroom.

The last square on the last night, we danced with David and Heidi, Klaus and Ushii, and another couple to caller Ben Ackerman--the end of a wonderful three days of dancing. It was great to dance with so many friends.

We ran down to catch the 10:00 p.m. bus, but it was full and leaving early. That turned out to be a blessing in disguise, since we got to watch the boats in the the fifth annual MGM Grand Detroit Parade of Lights.

Another late night. Tired, sore feet, and happy memories....
