Day 65 – Tuesday, July 27, 2010

46° 32.591’ N
087° 23.038’ W
Marquette, Michigan (day 3)

Last night we went out to dinner with the Flints and caught up with all the latest news. The good news is, Barb’s mom is doing well since her fall and is expected to recover fully.

For a while I thought we would get out of here today but a small craft warning has been posted with even worse weather predicted for tomorrow! Looks like were stuck in Marquette, Michigan again for a spell!

Tall ship we saw in Hancock/Houghton
The Flints still have their rental car so we did the next best thing to cruising - we found a donut shop and indulged in local cuisine! It’s been said on the street that I have a weakness for donuts ---- imagine that! After that five star event we took a ride to Wal-Mart to replenish.

Today was spent reading a book while watching the dark clouds passing over head! I can feel the weather building as the wind is/has picked up. The storm isn’t supposed to reach here until later this evening even thou it is churning up the lake right now.

Tonight we will drive to a small restaurant on the edge of town called CoCo’s. We had the pleasure to eat there before and know it’s worth a return visit.
