Saturday, August 22, and early Sunday morning
After a fine trip, we arrived around 8:30 Saturday morning.
Soon afterwards we explored the town. It’s a very nice town that has gone to a
lot of trouble to keep itself alive. Eventually we ended up at the Saturday
Farmers Market on 8th Street in the older downtown district. It was the biggest
and best one we’ve encountered all summer. The vendors are mostly Hmong people,
the Laotians who were our allies during the Vietnam war. Many came to America
afterwards and settled around Sheboygan. They grow fabulous vegetables, and we
probably bought too many, but now we’re looking forward to homemade salsa, stir
fries, oven roasted beets and carrots, cherry tomatoes in almost everything,
and cheesy cauliflower. Naps, novels, open-faced hamburgers and zuccini for
supper, then we watched one of the used DVDs that we found in a shop.
No internet once again, this time due to a broken part.
Sunday morning we watched an excellent thunderstorm. Big waves rolled under the boat here in the marina, even past the two breakwaters. We are very glad we're not out in the storm this morning, and we're thankful for the National Weather Service that can
predict the strength of the wind.
At 9:00 many church bells began to ring.
