Tuesday, October 5,
2021:
The day was overcast, but Mark and Paula headed to Mackinaw
Island. The ferry captain was a happy guy. |
|
 |
|
|
They made land at Mackinaw Island a half hour later. |
|
 |
|
|
Hmmm horses and bicycles. NO automobiles. |
|
 |
|
|
That's right. One and two
horsepower public transportation. |
|
 |
 |
|
With horses comes you-know-what on the
streets. There are workers hired to clean it up! |
|
 |
 |
|
Lots of bicycles, many carrying
tourist luggage. |
|
 |
 |
|
There is a park named after Father
Jacque Marquette. Lady Liberty stands guard over the nearby port. |
|
 |
 |
|
The island is know for its great
fudge. Birds like chocolate too. |
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
Horses everywhere. |
|
 |
|
|
Beach Comber Paula spent time looking
for rocks. |
|
 |
 |
|
Local birds were looking after her. |
|
 |
|
|
Then it was over to the
Mission Point
Resort for a room. |
|
 |
 |
|
There was dinner and piano music along with a warm fire. |
|
 |
|
|
After sunset at the resort. The movie
Somewhere in Time, was played at the resort theatre that night.
It was filmed at Mackinaw Island in 1980. |
|
Quote of the day:
 A
great tourist day. Mark
