Day 17 - Au Gres MI to Ithaca NY



Day 17 - 3 July 2006 - Monday

--- Starting near Au Gres, Michigan ---

We slept in a bit this day, then got up for a delicious breakfast of waffles, and then enjoyed the beach.

Kristina and I went kayaking for a while:

My favorite activity was looking in the water for rocks:
Rock hunting

I was looking for Petoskey Stones, the state stone of Michigan. I found a few:

The patterns you see on them are fossilized coral.

Sadly, we had to leave, as we wanted to be back to Ithaca that evening.

We drove on to Port Huron, and then crossed into Canada.

--- Entering Ontario, Canada ---

The trip across Canada was uneventful, and we crossed into the US at Lockport, where there was no traffic at all for us (a lot of people were crossing back into Canada due to the Canada Day long weekend).

--- Entering New York ---

We stopped briefly in Buffalo to check on the house there, and then drove in the dark to Ithaca. It was super humid, and we got there too late to see the fireworks. We got in later and more or less collapsed and fell asleep.

--- Ending in Ithaca, New York ---
