We took a drive into Port Huron this morning. It’s a nice enough town I guess, we just drove through it, but it has a lovely area right along Lake Huron for walking or biking or whatever. We took a stroll along the lake and waved to the folks over in Canada; the only thing separating the Americans from the Canadians is the St. Clair River, which is crossed using the Blue Water Toll Bridge. After strolling along the river and lake for a little while we visited the Thomas Edison museum; Alva lived in Port Huron with his family as a child. The museum was pretty cool, very informative and Thomas Edison was a genius. It’s amazing to think what we may now be living without if not for the ideas in his head. Maybe someone else would have come up with similar inventions, but who knows.
This afternoon while Mike took a little nap Tal-y and I saw our first snake of this trip. Not sure what kind it was I only know that Tal-y managed to step on it as it was crossing the road and that I had quite a difficult time stopping her going into the woods after it. I wonder who would have gotten the better end of that confrontation? Off to bed now as we have an extra early start tomorrow as we have a super long drive.

Mike: I don't think it's a good idea for Tal-y to chase snakes!
