Weekend-Getaway, New Photos and Lots of Fun....in Detroit.
It was a long time since I'd visited a great art museum; I had to see Detroit's Institute of the Arts (DIA). Before you even get in the door, you get to see a casting of the iconic "Thinker" by Rodin. The museum has other works by Rodin inside. We found a historic hotel, the Inn on Ferry Street, just around the corner, past another iconic building formerly called the Wardell Hotel (now an apartment building). We were able to walk in the area around our hotel and the museum; a chance to do some street photog., even if the weather was chilly.
