Lunch at Slurping Turtle

On a football Saturday in Ann Arbor, you have to be very mindful of the huge crowds and traffic. We thought it would
be safe to go with our guests to Slurping Turtle restaurant and sushi bar -- as long as we walked both ways!
The game was about to start, so things were very quiet when we got to the restaurant.


All the food was delicious --

Fried dumplings.
Poke made from ahi tuna, avocado, rice, and flavorings.
Stir fry with rice batons and tofu.
A pork bun.

Walking home...

A brief stop to visit the mammoths at the Natural History
Museum. These skeletons were found in Michigan, where
there were once large numbers of these now-extinct animals. 
"The Rock"
Thanks to Evelyn for taking all these great photos of our lunch and our visit. We're so happy to have Evelyn, Tom, Miriam, and Alice here for the weekend! Although we aren't big football fans, we're glad that Michigan won today.

I enjoy the posts like this that show a slice of life in your city. Looks like a great day and I’m always up for a natural history museum.

Mhm, that food looks delicious. I love poke and sometimes make it myself. It always reminds me of our time in Hawai'i.
What is the big painted rock in the last photo?

Looks like a good time. I'm drooling at the pork bun in particular. :)
