July 30, 2015. Part II, Cottage Row Revisited. Yesterday, we biked from the park to Cottage Row. Total distance is probably 10-12 miles, round trip. The ride takes us past Not Licked Yet, a custard place with ducks who swim in Fish Creek, beg food and sleep with their heads tucked under their wings. I didn't feed them, except for the custard that melted before I could eat it. It isn't good to feed them. They grow dependent and forget how to fend for themselves. When the tourists leave, they won't know how to forage. That's not good.
Some of the scenes along Cottage Row you have seen before. With the expectation that you've forgotten them, I have included them again. Cottage Row is lined with impressive homes, old and new, which look out on the bay. Rock fences from the last century mark the road. It is usually quiet and secluded. Usually, I say, because we are usually here in May. In July, there were walkers, joggers, bikers, carers (that's "car" with an "er" on it.) and other distractions. It is still worth the ride, it just isn't secluded this season.
We had lunch at Juniper's, one of our regular haunts. I have included a picture of our meals. I thought about giving a cash reward to the person who correctly guesses whose plate is whose. But, it was too easy. Even Bob would get that one right.
Last night, we went to a spot on the bay where we could watch the sunset. Blonde-lady-with-goofy-husband was there. She wanted advice on our favorite travel locations. As we answered her questions, the sun set. And, that's why you don't have a picture of the sun setting over the bay.
The next entry will be from St. Ignace, Michigan, across the straits from Mackinac Island. I see more blogs in your future. I see fudge in mine.
