Yesterday was an exciting day. After months of planning and preparation, it was time to pour concrete for Libby's sugar shack.

Chinese market
As I was exploring Chinatown, I turned down a side street and happened upon a farmers' market.

Chinatown
Due to delays on the Texas Eagle train, by the time I arrived in Chicago, the Blue Water train to Michigan had already departed. So, the Amtrak agent booked me on the train the next day and gave me a voucher for a hotel. I was delighted to discover I would be staying overnight in Chinatown.

| Chicago, Illinois |
On my summer list was to take a train adventure. So, I took a few days to visit Logan's family near St. Louis, Missouri. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip on the train and the unexpected bonus day in Chicago (due to train delays on the way home).

Mosquitoes
I hiked the Great Pines Trail at Tahquamenon recently. The trees were impressive, but the mosquitoes were even more memorable.
