South Haven has a beautiful beach, but when we visited, a cold
front had moved in. It was about 65 degrees and extremely windy. We
were cold. Apparently the Michigoniacs thought it was great beach
weather though. They were swimming around in Lake Michigan, and I
overheard two ladies talking about how great it was that it was
finally cool enough to go outside. Honestly, until today, the
weather had been very mild. We walked out to the lighthouse on the
pier with great care, remembering the stories Mike and Connie told
us last night about people being swept off into the lake on windy
days, never to be seen again.

In the afternoon we did a small portion of the Southern Michigan
Wine Trail, local wineries Karma Vista and Tabor Hill. Karma Vista
had wine tasting and sales only, but Tabor Hill also offered a
mini-tour. The Tabor Hill wines are great. We recommend the Classic
Demi-Red and the American Merlot.
We had dinner at Santaniello's Restaurant and Pizzaria in
Stevensville, a fantastic Italian restaurant. Tom used to work
there years ago, when the restaurant went by the more modest name
of Glenlord's Pizza.
