The only Great Lake we've seen is Lake Erie and it was amazing; looked just like the ocean. Would love to see all of the Great Lakes.
Strangely enough, during the past decade while doing genealogy research I discovered that I have hundreds upon hundreds of cousins all over Michigan from Ann Arbor northward..........descendants of the Italians who came over in the late 1800's and the French Canadians as well.
The reason we'd like to see the upper peninsula is that from photos we've been shown, it is reminiscent of Maine's little fishing villages.
Now that we are retired, it's on the agenda for future trips.
Thanks for sharing the video.......
p.s. I just typed in "Upper Peninsula of Michigan" tourism and the same PURE MICHIGAN WEBSITE popped up with wonderful information for vacation planning...........thanks again. My memory was right about all the light houses on the upper peninsula. Looks like great boating as well.
We had neighbors here from Lansing Michigan who would go across to Canada for the greatest linguini with clam sauce (we heard that over and over again)......
