First Trip to Madeline Island for 2011 Part 2


Saturday
6-18-11

Woke up shortly after midnight to Dale's landlords, Dave and Mike, having a shouting match right outside our window. I must've fallen back to sleep because Dale told me the part I heard was just the beginning. They didn't quiet down until about 2 a.m.

It was nice to chat with Chris, Alyn, Ellis and Dale this morning while having coffee. Dale had to got to work around 10 o'clock. Chris, Alyn, and Ellis went to get a sweatshirt shortly after Dale left. I took a nice walk on my own with the intention of getting some photographs. I managed to get some good shots. The lilacs here are way behind the ones in Minneapolis. The ones back home are gone but the ones here are looking really good.

It sure is cold up here! It's not supposed to get up above the low 60s. At least yesterday it was sunny. I woke up this morning to discover it was cold and damp and that it had rained overnight. There was an in-line skating marathon here on the Island that began this morning. I felt bad for the participants that the weather was so cold and cloudy.

Took a nap this afternoon. We all went to the Beach Club for dinner. Dale and I both had the fish sandwich. Very delicious. It really makes a difference when the the fish comes out of the lake the day of.
