Home Again


Arrived home from our journey north last night. We had a wonderful trip to Isle Royale National Park. Great boat trip out to the island, fair trip back. It was so nice to be away from cars, phones, e-mail and television. Vicki found a four night package deal that included meals, transportation, one local boat trip and a canoe rental. The meals were outstanding, not many choices but the food was fine. We had the pleasure of helping train four young ladies from China. They are working here for the summer as they study the tour guide program in their homeland. I can't imagine going to China and taking orders in a restaurant for a summer. One young lady said it was her second summer and she really enjoyed the work. Another benefit, you save money because there isn't much to spend it on. The weather is interesting, foggy, overcast, drizzle, Portland type. We had one really sunny day and it was warm but otherwise.....fall like temps. Flowers are beautiful and the loons are fun to watch. Take books and relax or spend the day hiking. Trails are rough, lots of rocks and roots to dodge so it is hard to navigate. I really can't imagine lugging the 50 pound backpack over some of the trails we hiked.
