Out for lunch


As Detroit is so close to the border with Canada we went south and crossed into Windsor.  We went to Canada via a tunnel and back to the U.S. via the bridge.  


Looking to Detroit from Canada
After lunch Bonnie and I went shopping. It was fun to go round the supermarket.  I think anyone going back to the U.S from abroad must have greater reverse culture shock than we do.  There is so much more food than we have.  And there are different foods too.  I knew we get a lot of American brands in the Philippines but there were some I still hadn’t realised were American till we were walking round.

This ice-cream cracked me up, though.  This probably reinforces the stereotype of the American that we British hold.
It’s interesting for me to see things that friends at Faith Academy have talked about and it’s really good to see where Bonnie is from.  I will be able to picture her there now.
