Day 11, Thursday, September 24, 2009



Today has been a laid-back day of visiting the tourist town of Frankenmuth. This is Michigan's version of Bavaria, much like Washington' Leavenworth, only much larger. We visited a number of the shops including quilt, clock, leather, kites, country, and a brewery. We also went to Bronner's, the world's largest Christmas store. It about the size of a small mall and has more types of ornaments than you can possibly imagine. It also has every type of indoor and outdoor decorations made. Dixie, Prudence, and Betty would really like this store.





What impressed us the most about the town is the flora and fauna. The main street is lined on both sides with a myriad of flowers and trees as you can see on the photo. It is very beautiful.

I also took the time to visit Memtron, a sister company of AIS, while Laurel was exploring the town. I made friends with several guys over the years on the phone and visits to Coeur d' Alene, so it was fun to visit their place for the first time.
