GNRT DAY 27 DULUTH TO BAYFIELD TOURIST MODE
For today’s easy drive from Duluth, MInnesota to Bayfield, Wisconsin
as is our nature we took the scenic route
ready to discover what Wisconsin is all about.
We stopped often along the way…(we never drive anywhere straight )
so we could experience first hand the beauty of this state.
We paused at a windmill, an old jail, a covered wagon school bus
and to learn lessons the Ojibwe teaches.
We stopped to admire her trees and take a few walk along her beaches
As we continue on this road trip…we learn a little more each day
like how Wisconsin…just like every other state is beautiful in her own way.
As we settled down into our old Victorian inn
which for the next 2 nights will be our home
forgive me while I change the subject
as well as the direction of this poem.
I’ve noticed in most of my pictures since we’ve been on the road
In my bright colors and by my tie-dyed hat…
I’ve been in full tourist mode.
Which means I’ve been excited when I wake up…
happy to greet the sun every time she rises
excited for the things we’ve planned
and delighted by all the surprises.
But when I think about my life…in living day to day
I like to think this is exactly…how I approach each day.
Whether in colorful clothes and hats…
whether on…of off the road…
I hope every day I am alive…
I am in tourist mode.
