Day 11- Detroit's Comerica Park

Memorial Day 2006. Very hot and humid again. We're getting a little used to it. From our campground in McGregor, Ontario (near Windsor), we crossed back over the Canada/US border and found our way in HEAVY traffic to Comerica Park to see the Detroit Tigers play the NY Yankees, a game the Tigers lost. The ballpark is wonderful - a new park that has all the bells and whistles. It reminded us in many ways of AT&T Park in San Francisco because of the good food options and the various attractions at the park. We spent some time in our seats and then wandered around and found a place overlooking the outfield where there was more breeze and watched the remaining part of the game there - good viewing area.

After the game we drove to an Ontario nature preserve and walked around, looking for the warblers that were there - as usual we could hear them but not see them. This area is a major flyway in the spring and fall, but, unlike the Audubon Society guides at Galveston last year who could see the eye color of these tiny warblers, we saw nothing. Oh well...... We also drove through Amherstburg, ON, a lovely town on the Detroit River near where it empties into Lake Erie.
