The main event


I took a nice brisk walk today, wearing five layers (undershirt, long sleeved t-shirt, windbreaker, knit jacket, raincoat) to protect me against constant winds and intermittent sprinkles in Glen Arbor. This little berg is set up - by design or serendipity - to unfold one view at a time and make you feel like you are the first to discover each new shop, restaurant, or garden. I loved that everything in town felt and looked low-key and quirky.

But the main event - what brings us all to this place and so many others like it - is water: in this case, Lake Michigan on one end of town and Glen Lake on the other. One Great Lake, one inland lake; one alive with foamy whitecaps, one peppered with fall colors.

In a way, it's a similar spot to our own water wonderland. One Great Lake to inspire us; one inland lake to delight us.
