arrived on the ferry at 5:00 am, but really 6:00 am. hey, i'm on eastern time!
i spent the day in ludington, having arranged a warmshower. first i spent a coule of hours riding around the town while it woke up. ludington is a resort town. only about 3,500 residents. it has beaches and a state park, a lighthouse, marinas, the ferry, and a walkable downtown. not to mention a coffee house and a brewpub. and a nice public park on the waterfront with a sculpture display.
cludia opened her house to me in the morning, so that i could stash my stuff. i ended up just hanging out and resting. claudia is in her 50's and just moved to ludington last year. she bought a small house a couple of blocks from downtown and is the middle of building a porch on the front. by herself. when she got home from work in the early afternoon, i offered to help and she jumped on the offer. we spent the next couple of hours tearing off part of the roof and setting the ridge beam, so that she can start setting rafters tomorrow.
after that, we went to the jamesport brewing company for dinner and a few stouts. fish and chips accompanied by a pretty good stout, in my humble opinion. enough fried food to last for awhile. then back to the house for a good nights sleep.
