2017 Great Lakes

Late August found us going on a Great Lakes tour with the Flying Longhorns. After visiting friends in Wisconsin, we took a train to Chicago where we stayed at the Palmer House the night before the tour. Weather was great except for the visit of Harvey back in Rockport. The ship was small as cruise ships go and the crew/wait staff were a highlight. My one take-away from the trip was the similarity in magnitude between the Great Lakes and my native Gulf of Mexico. Their breadth and unpredictable nature are undeniable and inspiring.

DAY 5: Manitoulin Island and Little Current

Suzanne and Rebecca get ready for a visit.
from wikipedia: Manitoulin Island is a Canadian lake island in Lake Huron, in the province of Ontario. It is the largest freshwater lake island in the world. In addition to the historic Anishinaabe and European settlement of the island, archeological discoveries at Sheguiandah have demonstrated Paleo-Indian and Archaic cultures dating from 10,000 BC to 2000 BC.
Manitoulin Island's soil is relatively alkaline, which precludes the growth of common Northern Ontario flora such as blueberries, but allows for the island's trademark hawberries. These berries are so distinctive that people born on the island are referred to as "Haweaters". Each year on the August long weekend, the island hosts the Haweater Festival.
