8/3- 8/6/2110 South Bend, IN

We're back to the journey continues................. and here we are dipping spoons into chocolate at the South Bend Chocolate Factory. We toured the factory and learned how chocolate is made from seed pod to creamy decadence. As you entered the chocolate factory was a picture of Lucy and Ethel in the bon-bon factory!!!! You all remember that, don't you?


We dined at The Carriage House, a church built in 1840 and converted to a 5 star eating establishment and we weren't disappointed. The walleye and scallops were beyond great!

Indiana Dunes on S. Lake Michigan was our next stop. It was interesting to see the dune intersperced with heavy industry and shipping business but that's what the Great Lakes are all about. No pictures of this area, fighting the rain drops most of the day. We had to wait for several thunder storms to pass over to tour the singing dunes which were wet, therefore, no singing today.



Here we are on the Norte Dame campus looking at the Library and the Golden Dome, everything you see on Saturday College Football. It's quite a lovely campus with the huge football stadium front and center surrounded by lovely matching brick structures unlikely to be seen in CA earthquake country!..We played a round of golf on the University owned golf course and played with two students from overseas taking the 2 MBA program. Alot of hipe around the golf course and campus because they had an old timers tournament yesterday and football practice starts in two days. All the past coaches still alive were in attendance so the course was in excellant condition, not many have been so pristene where we've played. Back to Elkhart to retreive Tinker for..................................and the journey continues
