First day here and I have gone to have Crepes at a really cute little place called Good Girls Go to Paris. It was delicious. I was taken there by a Wayne State (Gamma Kappa Chapter) brother named Jose and a Wayne State (Beta Omega Chapter) sister named Teresa. It was delicious! Afterward, Jose and I went to the Detroit Institute of Art. It was amazing! There was a lot of beautiful artwork and I thank my 
Aesthetics and Values class from my junior year because I have a whole new appreciation for art. After the museum Jose and I met up with two other sisters, Sarah and Rosana (with whom I stayed for two nights) at this really cute Mexican restaurant called Mi Pueblo. The four of us enjoyed very delicious Mexican food and talked. It was a nice time and a great way to start off my visit. .jpg)
Later on Sarah drove me around and showed me the Tigers Stadium in a downtown area. We went into these two stores. I bought a really sweet Detroit t-shirt at the first store and it was 50% off so I felt pretty lucky. In the next store Sarah took forever deciding on a ring to buy. She ended up with three rings, but they were all really nice so it was worth it. It was nice because I had time to talk to the shop owner, who was an aged black gentleman with a degree in dance and choreography. I found that to be very interesting. We had a long conversation about social change and the experiences he’s had back in his younger years when there were race riots. There are still a lot of problems, according to him, and he really hopes for a better future. I was able to vibe well with him and his benevolent spirit. He was very pleasant and really pleased with sharing his insight. Sometimes we just need people to listen and understand.
After this we dropped off Jose at his place and went to Rosana’s house. Her house was BEAUTIFUL! It was very well put together and pretty hip. I loved it! Her husband was nice enough to let me sleep in the little room where he plays his video games. I slept very comfortably and am very glad I stayed at her place. We showered and got ready to go out. There was a brother who was celebrating his birthday. Rosana,
Sarah, and I, as well as Thomas (the birthday boy) and another brother from Beta Epsilon Chapter (University of Detroit Mercy) named Orlando, went to Club Amnesia at this casino called Motor City Casino. We met up with another sister named Jennifer. It was pretty cool and there was a nice view from the rooftop of the casino. Don’t ask me what floor it was on because I am not a fan of heights and would rather not know what floor it was on. From up there you can see the city lights and the bridge
to Canada. Fun Fact: Detroit is the only US City that you travel south to get to Canada. Apparently there is a little chunk of Canada right below it where the bridge leads to. All in all it was a great night and I enjoyed it very much. After being awake for nearly 24-hrs I was very happy to get back and get some sleep. Great start to a great weekend.
