Uncle, uncle!!

Somewhere in southern Michigan 

Ok we are done.  Rain to the south, rain to the east and cold to the north so time to go home.  Nonetheless it has been a great trip. The high point for me was the Dakotas.  Definitely a part of the country I was thrilled to see.  Any time you get on a horse and have a good ride when you are seventy is a day to cherish. Loved Chicago, suprisingly liked Cleveland and Duluth.  Sorry the Upper Peninsula was so rainy because it looked like fun.  Bypassed Mackinac Island this morning because of driving rain and fog.  Meet some fun folks on this trip reminding me again we have much more in common than we have differences.  Still the best country on the planet!

I'm sorry the blog swallowed some of your comments, this happened the last time also and I haven't a clue how to fix it. Will look for a new blog service on the (God Willing) next trip. Thanks to all who read and followed the blog!  The upside of going home is there are a few graduations (Jay, Caroline and Bethany) and several bdays (Mason, Luca and Christiano) to attend. Happy travels.
