Across the Mackinac Bridge and to Port Huron







"Go straight and when you hit the traffic lights, turn left and you are there". This was the reply the waiter gave me at the Crocker Barrel restaurant in Port Huron when I asked him where the washroom was!! Indeed there were traffic lights fitted and they did turn from red to green.



After visiting two of the Ojibwa Indians museums in St. Ignance we headed for the Mackinac bridge that is the longest in Michigan state and onwards to Port Huron.
At the museum reception we were welcomed by Gwen savaed who herself has Ojibwa Indians forefathers and was longing to visit Quebec where her forefathers came from.


These museums are full of the artifacts and memorablia of Ojibwa Indians. Their culture and their initial hospitalty and eventual fight for survival when the British and French claimed these lands less by negotiations and more by force.



Presently we are just across the border from Canada and shall cross over tomorrow morning to Loonie country.
Greetings
Renata & Arun
