Day Trip to Manitowoc, Wisconsin

A short drive to Manitowoc, a town of medium size with surprisingly large buildings. Will have to investigate the history of Manitowoc. Has the appearance of a city that was up and coming a long time ago and maybe lost it's main financial supplier, like some the the towns in Oklahoma that were oil towns back in the day. Again, we found that the homes and yards were very pretty. Flowers everywhere! Went to eat at Charcoal Grill but we both thought the burgers weren't worth the charge but better than McDonalds :-) Drove to check out the ferry that crosses to Michigan twice a day April-Oct. HUGE ship but round trip passenger fare is $120 each so we'll just stay on this side of the lake. Looking out over the lake is awesome - so large that it seems like you are looking at over the ocean, without the smell of salt in the air. On to Wal-Mart to get groceries and back to the home on wheels.
