THE LAST OF THE PICTURES, YOU WILL BE GLAD TO HEAR
Lake Superior.
What a difference a breakwater makes. On the left, outside the breakwater. On the right, inside it.
The lighthouse at the end of the breakwater. They have a neat feature where if you set your boat radio to a certain frequency and press the mic send button five times, the fog horn goes off several times about half a minute apart. We did it, of course.
The bridge between the towns of Houghton and Hancock.
Two of my favorite people.
I do love the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. From Mackinac Island to the Keweenaw Peninsula, from Lake Michigan on the south to Lake Superior on the north, it’s beautiful. I see why David loves going to college there, and I hope Catherine will like it as much. The only problem with it is, it’s too far from where we live – eight hours’ driving time. But I can forgive it even that because it’s worth the trip.
TOMORROW: A history lesson about a war you’ve probably never heard of.
