Traverse City

Photobucket

It is time to share with you, my friends, my adventures in Traverse City, the Cherry Capital. Last year when we visited we arrived late and didn't have time to really look at much other than that pesky muskrat.

This year I was able to see a bit more of the city, which was very pleasing to me.

We started off at Right Brain Brewery, since we had just left the Jolly Pumpkin and took that scary dirt road to Traverse City.

I was really digging the ambiance of this place.

They had an awesome wall full of hand painted beer mugs...

these mugs must be for regular patrons

...a quirky flying buffalo sculpture...

...different colored walls with amazing artfully displayed designs...

...unique pictures...

...it was nice to sit on a comfy couch like a bar fly and take it all in.

After a few tasty brews, we walked around town. We went back to the muskrat bridge, but luckily there were no woodland creatures around.

Continuing on our walking tour I basked in the glow of some gorgeous buildings...

I liked the snake made from a bicycle chain

this would go great with my 'Up to Snow Good' jammies


...we continued our walking tour, stopping by the Michigan State Asylum Hospital; which, I'm sorry to say, will have to be another post.
