While you are waiting to go aboard the Titanic, you read about the "passenger" you are to be for the voyage (next picture). And no, you don't get to take pictures once you are aboard (also no cell phones, etc.)...
When you first enter, it's like euphoria....the excitement, the luxury, seeing the first class staterooms, reading the menus and seeing the dishes and artifacts.
Then as you progress, it becomes more serious at every turn, the lighting changes, the sounds change and by the time you are at the end, it is very sobering. You have read the quotes by the passengers all through the exhibit and it's like they have become real people to you. At the end there is a wall with the list of passengers , those who survived and those who died and you look to see where your "name" is on the list.
Jeff pointed out that there were as many crew members as passengers and those below, of course, suffered the greatest loss.
Of course, we had to have our picture made on the Grand Staircase, I insisted. Even though we were not dressed for dinner with the Captain.

These are some little plant markers that I liked at the garden in downtown Detroit. I have lots of pictures, they have been working very hard there, but I am having a problem with blogger uploading. Are you?

I never knew what to do with these weird things that bloom on my garlic. I didn't even know they were called "scapes". Go here and you can learn about them, and also have a laugh ....she will make you laugh.
I planted this from seed last year, decided it was puny and I didn't like it. I thought I pulled it up but this is it the second year. I guess sometimes it takes two years for some things to get growing. What an intricate flower it is.
