Mackinac Island is a time warp. There are no vehicles on the island, only bikes and horses. And of course, people walk. The place is busy, very busy. Even early in June the town was crowded with tourists. David went into town and he reported that the little streets were jammed with people. I am amazed with the success of folks on the island who are promoting a 19th Century town.
The ferries arrive all day bringing people from towns near and far. They come for the day and take the last ferry ride home. Or they stay overnight. The shore line in town is full of big houses , along with several large hotels. The first ferries arrived today full of the workers. Hundreds of people got off, heading to town. We presumed they were heading for work. In addition, a very large cruise ship was at anchor and 6 of their tenders brought the guests in and out. So the little town was jammed today. I know little of the town but all the buildings we can see seem to have been built in the 19th century. No modern buildings could be seen. But clearly, people like this little town and seem to be enjoying a bit of past years. I am amazed.
