We have been enjoying a host of new and different activities. From an afternoon at Fort Michimackinaw, to a day at Tahquamenon Falls, and then a day at Mackinac Island, we have been quite active.
It was intriguing to learn about the various nations that fought over this land up here, and striking to realize how diplomacy ended up serving everyone’s purpose. The meaning of history to me has increased a great deal over the last fewyears. Hmmmmm.
Tahquamenon Falls was different from other falls I have seen because the color of the falls was more amber and gold than white and blue. As well the views required more physicality than I’m used to. Fortunately I appreciate the challenge of it. And speaking of required physicality, today Bill and I took our bicycles on a ferry out to Mackinac Island. We rode 8+ miles around the island and enjoyed being in this quaint community where literally there aren’t any motored vehicles. Horse drawn carriages and trailers transport people and luggage to and from ther lodging and it seemed as though every 10th business was a bike rental establishment. I’ve never seen so many bicycles! I am loving all these new and different experiences, and loving sharing them with Bill. I feel so fortunate that he shared my vision for this trip.
So much more than travel
