Hi my dear blog friends… Yesterday we drove to Sault Ste Marie from Mackinaw City and took the "Soo locks tour." When explorers decided it would be a good thing to get boats into Lake Superior from Lake Huron… they couldn’t get boats through the rapids between the 2 rivers; Superior is 21 feet higher than Huron… so they built locks. Been there done that. Then we crossed the border into Canada, ate lunch in a park looking back on the Soo locks boat terminal and then went to the "I" (the information center.) The really nice lady at the "I" suggested that rather than going to Sudbury and turning south, we turn south sooner and go through an island to the ferry and over to Tobermory. She must have recognized our love for harbors and anything to do with water… so off we went. The ferry was scheduled to go at 8:15 and the GPS was saying 7:15 eta. The "I" had said we would be there by 5:30. Well as it turns out, our GPS must not recognize that the mileage # is in kilometers which is about 50% less than miles. So I sweated missing the ferry a little… and we arrived at 5:30. We can use the GPS for directions only. The ferry was huge and we arrived on time at 8:30pm in Tobermory. Checked into the Princess a little hotel overlooking the harbor and awoke to a drizzly cool day… Will walk through the harbor, look into art galleries etc and then meander towards Saint Catherine north of Niagara Falls. All is well but, like Dorothy…   "There’s no place like home…" Love and God bless our friends at Saint Peters church on Big Pine Key who are sick. Pray my dears for an end of suffering and war. Today Pope Francis has asked us to pray. Love Sue
