We don’t have much to write about today. We slept in and took the morning at a very slow pace. We did venture down the road about a mile to the very small (don’t blink) town of Christmas, MI. There is not much there except one shop totally devoted to Christmas, and a casino. It looks like the town had a lot to offer at one time but that is definitely a time in the past.

After lunch at Sydney’s, an Australian theme restaurant, we headed to our one adventure for the day: a cruise to the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Pictured Rocks is a national park with cliffs that stretch 13 miles along Lake Superior. The cliffs were formed by the storms on the lake and some are over 200 feet high. Today is devoted to the rocks and their beauty. We took over 100 photos and wish we could share each one.

After our cruise, we returned to Main Street Pizza for dinner. This is a great little locally owned Italian restaurant that we found last year…yum-yum! Too bad there isn’t a Main Street Pizza at home!!
Tomorrow we will again head west. Our destination is Calumet, MI on the Keweenaw Peninsula, the land of the copper mines. Join us.
