North Countries


   Once we got to Marquette, Martha and Jeff wasted no time showing us why they love it.  We went to a Mexican restaurant in a strip mall where they ordered the margarita for two (hundred).  At this point, we were still uncertain what the attraction to Marquette was other than being on Lake Superior, but it got much better.  As someone who longs for more winter than we get in Ithaca, Jeff got my attention when he said once the ground was covered by snow in December, it stayed covered until it melted in the spring.  And this:  "Even though we had about 11 feet of snow, there was never more than five feet in our yard."  The bike paths around town are some of the best I've seen anywhere.
