On our second day at Drummond we visited the local museum which was very interesting. While there we met Marlys who invited us to her beautiful rustic home. I played her grand piano and she and Mike her husband and Jayne and I toured their resort area. We shared a pizza and had a great time talking about a lot of subjects including golf, skiing and the loop. They had completed the loop in 2006 and as a result were able to offer a lot of tips on the subject.
We traveled Wednesday to Mackinaw Island in perfect conditions. We had to wait for 1 and 1/2 hours to obtain a dock because the famous Chicago to Mackinac sailboat race had brought a lot of boats to the area. We finally were given a dock assignment.
After docking we enjoyed walking around town, eating a meal and a terrific icecream cone.
This island forbids all modes of transportation except for horses and bicycles which lends to its charm. Many of the homes, bed and breakfasts are of victorian style. The island as a whole is simply beautiful.
We walked throughout many of the town streets today and plan to bicycle around the perimiter of the island tomorrow morning.
We may stay one more day in this paradise.
