September 22, 2009 - Leland, Michigan

We left Charlevoix on the 10:30 bridge opening, with Mount McSauba in the background.
Along this area of Lake Michigan we saw lots of sand dunes, and stairways to the homes nestled at the top of the bluffs.
We entered Leland Harbor, which had just been renovated this summer, with a beautiful harbor office and floating docks.
We wandered around the quaint town, shopping and sightseeing. This area, one of the few remaining commercial fishing villages on the Great Lakes, is being preserved by an historical society.
The shops were interesting, and we stopped for smoked fish sausages and fish dip.
The smoked fish sausages from Carlson’s Fish House were so tasty, Jerry went out for more just before the shop closed.
