........I forgot to show you Lake Michigan - This is how it looks in this area of the Festa. This is the only photo we took of the lake, and unfortunately, it doesn't show the entire lake, just the "bay" part and the sand area where they shoot off the fireworks (which are FANTASTIC!) for the many festivals that take place here every year. But this lake is HUGE, it covers at least 3 states that I know of: part of Illinois (including Chicago), all of Wisconsin and parts of Michigan. The "seagulls" are a daily feature, always hanging around wherever there's water AND food. Sometimes they even fly and dive bomb around people who are just sitting or walking around, and try to get a bite of their food! I found out later that my face really got rather sunburned after 2 days here in the sun - I always burn in Florida too - must be my delicate Irish & German skin!
