What a weekend! I'm terribly behind on blogging, emailing ,and anything Internet-related (e.g. my life) because I was in a tiny town on Lake Huron (one of the Great Lakes, of course) called Port Austin for the weekend at my friend's family's vacation place. Twas lovely! Minus the lack of any internet connection. By the time we drove back to Ann Arbor today, I was starting to have withdrawal! Oy vey. But we had a lovely time. The weather was decent the first day we were there (as you can see in some of the photos) -- and by decent, I mean decent for Michigan in Nocember. E.g., it wasn't snowing a foot a day. Always good to get away from the bubble of Ann Arbor!

Lake Huron -- like all the Great Lakes -- is fucking gigantic. So sitting on the coast, with sandy beaches, you really feel like you could be facing the Atlantic. There are waves and seabirds and all that. It was really relaxing. Yay. Here's a cute video of Maxime trying to cross back from the strange mini-island that existed just off the beach in front of my friend's place. The water deepened from when he went out here to when he wanted to come back, and it was fucking cold! So he runs to make it back. Bravo!

And of course, here are some more photos of our beautiful weekend for your enjoyment! xoxox
