    Wow I was at these exact spots back in 2009 so I definitely need to make a return in the near future. I hope one of these days you can do a fall leaves tour of Michigan, Wisconsin and even parts of Canada. Would make for an awesome series!!

    Loved the sand dune hike video. It is very tiring to hike in the sand. The aqua blue water reminds me of Bear Lake on the border of Utah and Idaho. If you get to Kanab, Utah again go to the Coral Pink Sand Dunes. They are stunning, and some really strange round rocks are all over.

    “Michigan the Beautiful”. Who knew? There is nothing more satisfying than virtually exploring warm, sunny and beautiful places during the wet and cold months of winter. It’s especially fun to see such pretty and hidden little towns for the first time. Thank you for keeping things fun and interesting… a great episode to go with a slow Sunday morning, and a hot cuppa coffee. Loved it!

    Thank you so much Robert for bringing us every week those really beautiful landscapes and villages from the States. Definitely, Michigan is one of those hidden gems, at least for the European eyes like mine. Whenever I think about USA and roadtrips always comes to my mind the typical ones such as Grand Canyon, the west coast, Florida keys, etc. But Michigan really looks to deserve a good visit too! Love it!!!
    Btw, that fabada looks delicious 😋
