Another busy day of sight-seeing on Saturday. First on our list was the Museum of Science and Industry. That's Kathy at the entrance to the space exhibit, where Jim was thrilled to see the Apollo 8 capsule and one of the LEMs.

We got digitized in Net World--you could see several copies of yourself at once in a mirror--and checked out the whisper gallery where you could whisper into a the at one end of a large room and hear it plainly out of another at the far end.

A few blocks away was Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style masterpiece, Robie House, which is going through a major renovation to restore it to its original glory. The tour guide was really knowledgeable about the various people who had once lived there and the subsequent abuse at the hands of various organizations.

The house was really ahead of its time (1909), with recessed lighting, decorative covers over the radiators, and a "front porch" (the jutting structure behind us, left) which started a trend.

We got to the return train platform a bit early, and were concerned that it might not show up, because the place was deserted and there was a sign saying that the normal schedule had changed. Just before it was due, a few other passengers gathered, and we got back downtown on schedule.

Had a great dinner at Shaw's Crab House (right), then took another cab back to Northwestern Station for the trip back to Crystal Lake. We returned to Ann Arbor Sunday via Amtrak (no delays this time) and our legs finally got a good rest.
