Joe and I met up with Bruce in Schoolcraft, Michigan today and then on to
Kalamazoo to pick up Diane from work. Diane was one of my two bridesmaids in
1974. We had reconnected a couple of weeks ago after 49 years. Diane and her
spouse, Bruce, had offered to show us a bit more of Michigan before we ended
our road trip.
We went to South Haven and Saugatuck. Both are communities on Lake Michigan.
The only time I had seen Lake Michigan was around 1970 when we went on a family
camping trip to Mackinaw City (I would have been fourteen years old).
I was impressed with the beaches in South Haven! We wanted to explore the
town and beaches on foot; however, the air quality continued to be poor because
of the Canadian fires. We did walk a couple of blocks to a Mexican restaurant
for lunch.
From South Haven we drove up to Saugatuck. Diane and I sat at a marina and watched the birds and the people. Joe and Bruce went for a walk. I wore a mask while we sat outside. While the air quality was unhealthy, there was a nice breeze at the marina which made for a pleasant hour or so.
The smoke makes for poor photo quality!
We decided we needed a caffeine fix so ended up at Uncommon Coffee Roasters
enjoying our caffeine and a couple of hours of political conversation. We had
an awesome day with Diane and Bruce.
