D.A.G. members are invited to join me this Sunday, Sept. 16, when I take one of my adult anthropology classes on the Diamond Jack cruise on the Detroit River. It's a beautiful cruise, and narrated, so you'll learn a lot about Michigan and Canada, and get some great pictures of the skyline. Meet at Hart Plaza at 1:00pm, and walk to the back of Hart Plaza to the River. Then go down the short flight of steps to the River Walk, and look to the left where the boat will pick us up. It's also a good chance to see the recently opened, and beautiful, River Walk in Detroit, which will go from the Ambassador Bridge all the way to the Belle Isle Bridge.
The Diamond Jack boat is for us only on Sunday, and I hope you can join us. It will be over about 3:45pm. The cruise price is only $14, but if you tell them you're in my group it is only $12. Just say "I'm in Jim's group" as you board the boat and pay for your ticket. You can sit inside or outside on the boat, and upstairs or downstairs. We're going, rain or shine. It's really a nice experience. The boat leaves from Hart Plaza and sails up the river, pointing out and explaining the sites along the Detroit side, and then eventually out past the Grosse Pointes and into Lake St. Clair. Then it turns around and sails back down the Canadian side, and you will also see the world's only "floating post office", which has it's own zip code and is part of the U.S. postal system, floating on the river! See you Sunday! Jim.
