We took the noon bus in to the Cobo Center and ate our ham sandwiches while waiting for the afternoon dancing to begin. We danced to Betsy Gotta and Ed Foote and Shozo Nishimura. The latter is the club caller for many of the Japanese dancers in the C-1 hall, and they helped the rest of us when we didn't quite understand his calls.
After dancing to Eric Henerlau we went over to the Advanced hall to get together with Bob and Pat and danced a tip with them before we all went to catch the People Mover to head over to the Renaissance Center (RenCen), a group of seven interconnected skyscrapers. This very large center includes a Marriott Hotel, where Bob and Pat have a room on the 43rd floor.
We decided to eat supper at the food court on the lower level of the Center. We ate our usual Subway oven roasted chicken breast, but with sweet onion dressing on Italian herb and cheese bread (gotta have some variety). Bob and Pat shared some fish and french fries. Then we found out way through the mazelike route to their hotel room where we enjoyed some of Pat's homemade cookies for dessert (yum!). We relaxed for a while and watched the news and looked out at their spectacular view of the river and environs.
We ran out again to catch the 10:00 p.m. bus back to the fairgrounds. It actually left a bit early, but just as we were settling in and congratulating ourselves on getting home early, the bus circled back to the Cobo Center, where it had been called to pick up more people. Then we got caught in a massive traffic jam, probably caused by an accident, which made us really late getting home.
