We spent the night just across US-41 from the southern tip of Lake Superior’s Keweenaw Bay at Baraga State Park. At night we could see the lights of the little town of L’Anse twinkle across the bay and in the morning the reflection of the rising sun dances on the water. The park and the town just north of it are named for the remarkable Rev. Frederic Baraga, a Nineteenth Century Slovenian missionary to the people of Ohio and ultimately to the people of many ethnicities living in the U.P. He had a talent for languages which made him particularly well suited to this ministry. He earned the nickname The Snowshoe Priest by traveling vast distances in winter to minister to his flock using his snowshoes!
Wicked The Musical
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
