Up North. With cherries on top.

Since the breakfast is the most important meal of the day, we started our day in the best diner in the neighbourhood. Once again we ordered a breakfast set of an average American to share and got a full tray of food: scrambled eggs, bacon, biscuit and gravy, pan-fried potatoes and a slice of orange. After all that we could still fit in a slice of a delicious cherry pie. Obviously the diner knows its power and values, because even on the web page they state that even though the waiting line might seem long, it moves pretty fast. Also the service has gotten the best speed training possible, because before we could put the last piece of potato in mouth, the waitress had already taken the dessert order and brought the empty tray to the kitchen. And while still trying to catch that last cherry on the plate, we already have the bill in hand and the nice lady had wished us a lovely day.

Our lovely day continued in Cheboygan, where based on the tourism information we expected to find a pretty beach and nice hiking trail. We had almost given up on the beach when we finally got to a parking lot and from there, past a humongous restroom and empty cafe building to the mentioned beach. Beach turned out to be a dirt covered tiny strip of sand, where when trying to do some 60-meter speed tests, one would need to run along the beach, turn around and back same way. With the hiking trail we had somewhat more luck, we had a nice walk in the woods and found a little private white sand beach, spacious enough for two persons clinging to each other to stand and enjoy the lake view.

A quick picnic and shopping on the way and home.
