DISCOVERING THE BLUE SHORES OF EASTERN MICHIGAN

July 17 – Sally and I decided to take a drive along the shores of Eastern Michigan since they were so nearby. I wanted to go to Clay (Algonac) because I read somewhere they had the largest fresh water delta in North America. I guess this is it!! Not too exciting!!


So, guess what!! We looked for a place to eat. MacRae’s Blue River Grill in Algonac was the first place we saw on the river, so that was it. And a great place it was!!

We decided we did not want much to eat because we were going for Pizza for dinner. So we each ordered a cup of Clam Chowder, and the appetizer Stuffed Portobello to share. It was to die for!!! Read this description and weep!! We decided we did not want much to eat because we were going for Pizza for dinner.

Large Portobello grilled and stuffed with crab, lobster, shrimp, spinach, and caramelized onions. Baked with our three cheese blend and topped with a lobster saffron cream!!! Our mistake was getting the soup because we were stuffed ourselves!!
After our delightful lunch, we drove on along the shore to Marine City. There we found an small, inviting beach and decided to set up our chairs and enjoy the view. We no sooner got our chairs in place than it started to rain!


We ended our drive in St. Clair and decided that river front town was the most beautiful of all. But it was raining, so no pictures.

It was a very pleasant drive and a great afternoon.
