University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens

June 2008
Walked the beautiful nature trails. Saw a big blue butterfly, turtles and at one point we thought we saw a fox but turned out to be an orange cat
.

The Conservatory has three climatic houses: tropical, warm-temperate, and arid. Saw many different species and they had lots of different orchids.

Bought a gardeners hat at the gift shop. I always wanted one. Now I need a garden.

Went into town (Ann Arbor) and ate at the famous Zingermans Deli. Vic and I both agreed that the Bread Basket (in Livonia) is better. They use sliced bread which makes it easier to eat and they give you way more meat. I have to use a fork cause its so fricken huge!! I love Rubens.
