HISTORIC FISHTOWN, MICHIGAN

The buildings in Fishtown look like the above. They have been kept in their original style when this part of town was all fishing related. Now, it is a mixture of shops, fish market, restaurants, and fishing.
Mary Ann and Teri are chatting just outside a clothing shop.
Here they are at the pottery barn where pottery is made on premise.

Mary Ann, Del, and Teri are discussing the pottery selection.
A view from Fishtown to homes across the lake. Non commercial boats are moored here.


We were having a great time with Del and Mary Ann in this historic area.
The boat to the right is enclosed for fishing in very cold weather on the Great Lakes.


Del and Mary Ann ,who have a home in Michigan, wanted to show us their State of Michigan which they are proud of and with good reason. They are our next door neighbors at Gulf Waters in Ft. Myers Beach, Florida

At the Fish Market. This fish is from the catch brought in each day by the fishing fleets.

In this case is the best smoked fish we have ever tasted. They had smoked salmon, trout, and white fish. So good!
The fish at the left is a spotted lake trout, salmon, and on the far right is lake white fish.
