...gone to look for America

A diary of a thirty-day odyssey across America in May 2014, eschewing all interstate highways in favor of secondary roads through small towns and villages.

Saturday, May 31st - One Stop in Michigan and then Home!

5/31/2014

 
Today was the final leg of our journey. We choose to spend it at Elderly Instruments in Lansing. This place is famous for everything to do with fretted instruments. (It's not a home for elderly instruments, as I thought at first... that must be the name of the founder, I guess.) They do have some old instruments there, however--they take consignments. The store is in a big, old house with rooms and rooms of guitars, ukuleles, mandolins, and even some dulcimers. (Not as many as I might wish, however. And no psalteries. Quel dommage!) It's a fun place to visit however, and we happily spent more than an hour there!

And then we made a run for the border and home at last! Thirty days, nineteen states, and over 8000 miles. What a wonderful  trip. But it's good to be back home again.
