On the way to and from Kalamazoo, we stopped at Lake Michigan which is one of the great lakes. It was GREAT. I mean, I've been told they're big lakes, but they're really big. We couldn't hope to see the other side of it. From one spot in Northern Indiana, we could make out Chicago to the west. One day we'll really visit that city.
It was amazing to be swimming in a large mass of moving, breathing water again. It felt a little bit like home with waves and everything. Unfortunately, we were charged to enjoy this luxury. Eight dollars on the Michigan side and five on the Indiana side because we are residents - at least, Jbird has an Indiana driver's licence. That was very much unlike home. We did find a spot to swim in in a residential neighbourhood which was free, but it wasn't quite as nice as the pay per car places so we sucked it up and paid. How many times will we sit on the shores of a great lake, after all? There's far too much to see in America to expect to do it very often.
