The Local Tourist and his lovely wife spent the day bumming around downtown Detroit. After a stop at the RenCen, we enjoyed a leisurely stroll on the award-winning Detroit Riverwalk. We went as far as Milliken State Park and Harbor and then returned to the RenCen. From there, we walked to Campus Martius Park. On the way, we saw Mariner's Church (made famous by Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"), the Joe Louis Fist, and the Spirit of Detroit statue. At Campus Martius Park, we expected to see the countdown clock for the NFL Draft in Detroit. Despite online articles saying it was there, we never found it.
We returned to our car and drove down to Mexicantown for lunch/supper at Mi Pueblo, and enjoyed some fancy margaritas with our chimichanga dinners.
It was a great day in the D, even though Laura's foot flared up and needed to be iced.
The Renaissance Center, home of GM Headquarters; ironically, built by the Fords.
