Heading out on Interstate 80 towards Chicago felt good … finally going. Go West, a classic theme.
We chose to sleep over rather than driving to Chicago in one day, we want to see more of this country. Looked on our brand new NatGeo US road atlas, and decided to spend the night in the ‘crowning jewel of the south shore of Lake Erie‘, Vermilion’s self definition. Vermilion is actually a nice beach town. This time of the year its quiet, decelerating your mind, and we managed to hop into the lake the next morning. And I learned something interesting.
Karin seems to be motivated to …swim across America.
She wants to jump and swim into any puddle of water we come across. Well, Lake Erie is definitely worth trying and so we did. One down and you bet, many more to come.
The Great Schnitzel Jagd 
Glad you could enjoy Lake Erie. When I was a kid in Cleveland we saw dead fish on the beach, it was an erie, not-so-great lake. They cleaned it up nicely!
