Pudding Bay?

Our journey around the lake brought with it big gray clouds that threatened to show its furry at any moment. Winds were hitting Road Hazard hard but inside it was warm and dry. Just sitting back and watching the world go by.

Yesterday was our day to go out and explore Sandusky, Ohio. This little town sits right against Lake Erie and is a sleepy little town until summer, when families call this place vacation. There is a large amusement park nearby but the attraction for us are the two islands off shore. Just a short ferry ride will take you there.

The downtown area of Sandusky takes you back in time when main streets were wide and filled with stores and big windows displaying their wares. Today, however, this town has many vacant buildings. The few businesses that are around are scattered about the downtown area. It seems the only traffic here is for the ferry.

Today, being May 29th, is also Reta's birthday. This gave us a moment of reflection as we remembered where we were last year for her birthday. It was Palo Duro, Texas. We've traveled a long way since then along with plenty of exciting stories.

Today will be our last full day here and we will be taking our Mountain Bikes to explore one of the islands, Put-In-Bay. I swear that when we first got here I heard people talk about this place called Pudding Bay. With their slight accents, I guess, that's how I heard it. I now know it is called Put-In-Bay. Too bad, I was hoping to see Bill Cosby standing with his multicolored sweater somewhere near Pudding Bay.
