destabee | What I actually did with my day (Reply)

I headed off in search of food which proved to be tougher than I expected as even the fast food places here are closed today. Once I realized the only thing open in Chesterton were a couple of gas stations and Walgreens, I decided to take advantage of the sun and go for a walk at the Dunes before heading to Michigan City to see if anything was open there.

I went for a walk along part of Trail 8 and walked to places I hadn't been. There were actually quite a few people out taking advantage of the mild temperatures (near 40) and sunshine. After my walk there I headed to the harbor at Michigan City. Again several people about. Again I walked to places I hadn't before. I tried to walk out to the light house but part way out the pier was covered in a solid sheet of ice so I turned back. Me quest for lunch ended at IHOP which was the only thing I could find open.

I snapped some photos of the most common sights of the day:

I made it home just as the sun went down. A hot shower to chase away the chill later I am pondering what to do with my evening.
