Mackinac Island is a place I've been going to every summer since I was born. I have never found going there to be that exciting, until now. Having been gone for over a year has allowed me to come back and appreciate the beauty of things I took for granted. Although Mackinac Island's tourist shops are nothing special, the view of Lake Huron, the boats, and the horse-drawn carriages are. Today I enjoyed sitting at the Yacht Club with a beautiful view of the water :)
I'm no longer in Germany but find myself being constantly reminded of the country. On the island I saw Ritter Sport candy bars for sale, and also saw a woman walk by with a purse that said Germany all over it. It's just a reminder that although I am not there, the country is still in my heart :-)
The culture shock continues. Today I bought a book at the book store. I got out exact change, only to be surprised when the tax wasn't included. Hello, how long have I lived here? It's as if I've forgotten my own culture.
Bye, Molly
