The small town of Chesterton hosts a European Market every Saturday so I convinced John that we HAD to go! I love farmer’s markets, art fairs, craft shows, food tastings, etc. and this was a little bit of all four. Local produce and baked goods, clothing and jewelry, painting arts and crafting arts and lots of food vendors. We stopped at one booth with these decorative gourds hanging around the edge. Each gourde had a spring dangling from the bottom. When you jiggled and spun the spring the gourde reverberated in your hand and made a sound like thunder! A food truck, a Studebaker truck no less, that we had seen near our campground was at the market. They make wood fired flatbread pizza and came highly recommended by YELP so we got the ‘purple pig' and even though we didn’t eat it right away, it was delicious! I also got some very good fresh peaches and John found some really good cookies.
We then drove up to Michigan City where they were having a huge art fair! But I just could not convince John to pay $7 to park and visit the fair. We took the scenic route home along the lake coast. Some really big and pretty houses along the road. After lunch we rode our bike on another scenic road along the lake and saw more homes overlooking the water. We also took a short walk along the water’s edge but it was such soft sand & many stones that we soon gave that up — too much work! There were a lot of people on the beach but not very many swimming and it was quite warm out. I guess the water is just too cold to enjoy splashing around unless you are a kid.
