i missed this guy and his 'little' brother

 frozen beach on lake MI

  

the shoreline was made of ice.

the water lapped up off the lake and froze to the beach 

creating overhangs made entirely of ice

sweetcakes vegan treats

native foods is amazing.

why had we never been here?

 P and L took us to a place called 'lost eras'

antique/junk shop that was great.

it wasn't until we reached the basement that i understood the scope of this place

i hate crumbling architecture.

i love rundown sprawl.

Blind Faith Cafe

food was decent but expensive

next time we go just for desert

lemon torte with lemon sorbet and raspberry slime. 

yes.

we will be back soon. we owe it to ourselves to create our own future. 

there is a world out there that wants us to have awesome adventures in it, together. 

i will continue to look for, seek out, and live in that world.
