Maxwell Flea Market

On Sunday, Hannah and I joined Candace and Rosco at the Maxwell Flea Market. It is a Sunday-only outdoor market featuring food and merchandise vendors, and sometimes there are live performances and events. The merchandise wasn't impressive, but the food was authentic and delicious. Candace had mentioned to me about great reviews she read about the tacos at Rubi's. When we arrived at the market, Candace and Rosco were already enjoying their tacos. Fortunately, the queue at Rubi's this Sunday was not too bad, and I jumped at the opportunity to join the long line of people queuing for delicious tacos while Hannah sat and talked to Candace and Rosco. Both Hannah and I ordered the Al Pastor (Marinated Pork), and we can only say "WOW"! 

If you are free on Sunday, and if you love authentic Mexican food, make a point to visit Rubi's at Maxwell Market. And since it is "street food" it is very affordable - the Al Pastor is $3.50 each!

Columbus Day Weekend Camping

Monday was Columbus Day - Grace, Hannah and I took the opportunity to escape to Sawkaw Lake, Manistee for weekend of camping. The camping site was a primitive site, meaning there wasn't any bathroom facilities, but it also meant that there was no huge crowds of people. Grace was nearer to the site, and she was already set-up when Hannah and I reached the location. There was only a few campsites around the lake, and the whole place was very serene.

We set-up our tent, and started exploring around the lake. It was the beginning of Fall, and the leaves were turning into a colorful display of yellow, red and gold! And there were weird, pretty mushrooms everywhere as well. Jet and Lilith, on the other hand, did not really care about the Fall colors nor the mushrooms - all they wanted were to run around the place without their leashes on!

Enjoy the photos :)
