(Straits of Mackinac)
Linda and I are staying on Mackinac island for a few nights. We came up here to do the wedding of Sue Baker and her now-husband Randy Mielnick.
We’ve been on the island before but never have stayed the night. Being a yooper myself (born in Hancock) I love it when I get way north in Michigan.
We may not have a lot of jobs in Michigan but we’ve got great natural beauty. As we road the boat across the straits of Mackinac to the island I stood at the front and watched the dark blue-green water rush beneath. I thought of crossing the straits of Bosphorus in Istanbul a few years ago, or looking at the blue-green waters in the Mediterranean at Caesarea Philippi. Right here in Michigan it’s just as beautiful as it is in those far-off places.
