We're listening to NPR so we're keeping current with developments in New Orleans. It's so chilling to hear the reports of constant suffering with no help in sight. Our government may be guilty of human rights violations. No one seems to be in charge of relief efforts.
We found 7 or 8 caches today, saw a couple of deer, and thoroughly enjoyed our drive.
We're not staying with Sniders this weekend, because I don't feel confident about how I may feel after going to the game on Saturday. I'm still a little nervous about it, although I'm also excited to see our new reserved parking space and gauge the distance between the parking and the stadium. We have reservations in motels for all three nights that we'll be away - Holland, Battle Creek, and Flint.
Observations on West Michigan cities - Pentwater is a nice, tourist-friendly small town right on Lake Michigan. It was crowded with people, shoppers, bathers, and cruisers like us. It reminded me of Leland.
Grand Haven is a marvelous place! http://www.lakemichigancam.com/ It's a combination of a Larger Leland with a smaller Traverse City, and it's right on Lake Michigan with spectacular beaches, city parks, and very upscale shops. We love Traverse City and Leelanau, but I have to say that Grand Haven is strong competition. It's so lovely. The drive from Grand Haven to Holland was beautiful, shady, calm, and relaxing. The homes were so well-kept and attractive. The road was winding and lush with trees and flowers. We were impressed.
Holland is a nice city - really pleasant city parks and magnificent beaches. I like Traverse City better.
