St. Joseph (Michigan)

After leaving Oak Park in the afternoon, we tried to catch the sunset at St. Joseph's Lighthouse on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. Unfortunately, the traffic in Chicago was insane! We have never seen such a freeway system. At one point, three or four freeways merged and cars were getting on and off the freeway on both sides. Everyone was changing lanes like crazy. We counted over 10 lanes! Of course this leads to huge traffic jams...
In the end we missed the sunset by 10 minutes. But it was still beautiful and very windy! Although it is only a lake, the waves look more like in the ocean. The way to the lighthouse was constantly flooded by big waves, which created a very dramatic atmosphere.

And if you look closely, you can see where Birte got the inspiration for the tattoo on her elbow 😉.Read more
