A Lake Weekend


A friend and I escaped school for a relaxing lake weekend at Petoskey on the Northern Michigan shore.  As a southern California transplant, I have come to appreciate the peaceful, remote country lifestyle.  There is something rejuvenating about the country.  Gone is the hustle and bustle of the city, the constant roar of car motors, and the absence of superficial distractions.  You can hear the whistle of the trees and the tickle of the stream.  You can hear your breath against the crunch of leaves.  



The houses in the Petoskey Bay Harbor are painted in hues of green, yellow, and blue with bright white porches and surrounding lawn chairs. I love these cottage houses. They are truely American! I would love to visit in the summer!
