Canada & USA 2017 - Part 8

Visting Our Old College Town

Sunday - September 17th 2017

Today we were on our way to Bowling Green, where we lived ten years ago for about half a year while studying at the Bowling Green State University. So after we got a coffee at the hotel, we left Cedar Point and drove for about an hour to Perrysburg to do some shopping at Target. Around noon we finally arrived in Bowling Green. Our room at the Best Western wasn't ready yet and so we had lunch at Chipotle first and afterwards we checked out all the major supermarkets. We just love spending time at American supermarkets to look at all the different products. So Meijer was first, then we drove to Walmarts and Kroger.

By the time we finished shopping at Kroger, our room was ready and we checked in. We got a nice and comfortable room and after we rested for a little while, we decided to take a walk around the University campus. Since it was Sunday, there wasn't much going on, but it was great to see the campus again and how it has changed over last years. For dinner we went to Panera Bread in downtown Bowling Green and then we enjoyed some beers at Reverend's Bar & Grill before we returned to out hotel.

Visiting Good Old Friends

Monday - September 18th 2017

Bowling Green is a small college town and there really isn't much to do. So after complimentary breakfast, we went to the campus again and checked out the University store to get some BGSU merchandise. From the campus we headed into downtown, where we got a coffee at our favourite hangout place back in 2007 called Grounds for Thought.

For lunch we went to Chipotle again, because yesterday we got a voucher for two free meals, because we had to wait for quite some time for our orders. I would have been totally fine with an apology, but the free meal was even better. After lunch we drove to Levis Commons, a nice outdoor shopping mall, where we spent some time at Starbucks until it was time to head to our friends' home. It was so wonderful to see them again after four years and we were going to stay with them for the next three days. Since our friends had to attend a town hall meeting in the evening, we decided to drive back to Bowling Green to get some groceries at Kroger after dinner.

A Rainy Day

Tuesday - September 19th 2017

Unfortunately the weather was bad today, it was raining most of the time, and so we spent the day at our friends house. However in the afternoon we visited a friend of them, who owns her own horse ranch. In the evening we drove to Grand Rapids to have dinner at a lovely small restaurant called Knucklehead's Kafe
