We left this morning with light winds and blue skies. That is 2 days 

in a row and 2 days back in the states.  I don't think Jim and I will go back to Canada any time soon, it rains too much.  We left Lake Huron and went into Lake Michigan.  We now have been in the 4 Great Lakes.  Last year at this time we had never been to any of them, let alone in them.  You never know what is going to happen in a year.  At least I don't.  We stopped in Mackinac Island and it is so nice.  The weather is great, the scenery and houses are beautiful, and the water is so clear we can see at least 15 feet down in the harbor.  

If you have never been here I can describe it very quickly.  Think of Disney World Main Street, now add bikes of every size, shape, etc.,

and horse drawn wagons.  No motorized vehicles of any kind.  And

of course lots of people.  Mickey and Minnie aren't here, but they could arrive anytime on the cruise ship, ferry, or personal boat.  The Grand Hotel advertises the largest front porch in the world.  I believe that is true.  Jim feel in love with the 6+ fudge stores and ice cream shoppes.  I enjoyed walking the street and shopping in all of the shops.  We enjoyed it so much we are going to try and stay several days.  Hope we can.  I did't get to go

Delivery Truck (mostly beer)

to all the stores yet.  Tomorrow I will take my camera and show you the sights.

This house looks like a shop stuck in the woods
