This morning Stan and Henk walked to the historical St. Anne Roman Catholic church to attend their worship service. Afterwards it was back to the boat for our morning coffee. For lunch we took a horse drawn taxi carriage to the Grand Hotel for the sumptuous lunch buffet. The Grand Hotel was constructed in the 19th Century and claims to have the world's largest porch. Afterwards we had made arrangement for a private carriage tour. Our driver/guide told us many interesting stories and showed us some fantastic homes. Also included was a historical cemetery where we saw the grave of one of the Michigan governors - "Soapy Williams". We passed the Governor's Mansion, still used by current governors. The island is also a popular place for weddings. We must have seen at least 10 wedding parties. After a busy afternoon, we returned to the boat for some rest, a glass or two of wine and pizza.
