Lake Michigan

Ever since they arrived in the United States, the Brazilian teachers were hungry for places to visit and sites to see. Near the top of their list was St. Joseph's Lighthouse in St. Joseph, Michigan. Naturally, the language coaches scheduled the outing on one of the windiest days of the program. As we winded down the roads toward Lake Michigan in St. Joseph, we crossed our fingers, hoping for the best the weather had to offer.

Despite the frigid temperatures and sand-blasting wind that greeted us on the shore of Lake Michigan, the Brazilian teachers, now almost immune to the cold weather, traversed the dunes to see the impressive lake.

 

To reward the group for braving the wind and sand, we stopped at Kilwin's in St. Joseph on the way home to get some hot chocolate to warm everyone up.
