persephone Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I've never been to the States before but I've just had a conference paper accepted for a session at Kalamazoo's International Medieval Congress!

With a bit of luck my funding body will cover my flights and accommodation too!

yikespanic Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I'm in Ohio, the state below Michigan, near Lake Erie. Sounds like you will have an exciting time. I love your user pic, It looks like me after a day in school sitting at my computer for homework.Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyLeesWife Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I'm from Michigan - about 3 hours away from the city of Kalamazoo. If you can make the time, you might want to schedule a 1 hour car ride west to the shore of Lake Michigan. It is a beautiful site and one of the Great Lakes for which the state is known. It will be cool and windy and depending on the time of your visit you might hit the trees in their full color change. The colors should peak somewhere in Mid-October. I've attached the link to the www.mi.gov website travel section and specifically the "color tour" that is closest to Kalamazoo. Click on the City of St. Joseph to see a view of Lake Michigan from the bluff. http://www.michigan.org/travel/drivingtour...;da=y&m=9;1I hope you enjoy visiting our state!
