Down to the sea in ships

[Grace]

We LOVE the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. When I see Lake Superior I think of Rhode Island. That huge expanse of water - but Lake Superior is fresh water with Canada on the other side; in Rhode Island the water is salty and Europe is on the other side.

And cold it is. We once waded in a shallow area near Marquette, and I thought Douglas was going to die from the cold.

There's a place up there - Whitefish Pointe. There is a Shipwreck Museum that is fascinating. And over in Munising, you can take a glass-bottom boat ride and see the remnants of past wrecks.

How neat, and I think it is nice that they'll leave it in place. It also touched me that they mentioned the two ships cats by name among those who perished.
