Day 28 - 29 - Grand Rapids, MI


Crossed the Canadian/U.S. border for the last time this trip, at Sarnia, ON/Port Huron, MI. (Note: I am always amused and surprised by what the customs people at both the US and Canada borders are looking for. This time it was just beef. In the past, it has been any of the following: potatoes, apples, oranges, pears, chicken, beef, cherries, berries, fish. I have had to relinquish almost all of these over the course of our travels, depending on .........what I don't know - the latest disagreement between the two countries, I suspect!)

We visited the Gerald Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids, MI. We have visited many of these presidential sites, and they are always interesting and well done. It is amazing how much Ford did and accomplished in his mere 30 months in office. Also amazing is the impact Betty Ford had on our society and women's roles in that time.
