Racine, Day 2 - Sept 30, 2019

  

Later, we drove to North Beach and walked, barefoot out to the rather flooded beach. (They have had a rainy September) It was nice and warm and people were enjoying the beach. Then, we drove to Wind Point Lighthouse, built in 1880 to protect the point on the north side of Racine harbor. At 108' tall, it is one of the tallest on the Great Lakes. We sat for a bit by the water's edge.

   Today was initially foggy as warm weather arrived. Eventually, it got into the 80s, but not for a bit.
   We went shoe shopping in the morning, but didn't find what Barbara was looking for. Then, we found a diner where we had breakfast for $10! Barbara had oatmeal because her stomach was queasy and Mark had the 3-egg, pancake special.

   We went for a nice walk around the harbor, watching people fishing and boats going in and out of the narrow channel into the very protected harbor. They do have to get the boats out before winter.
   Then, we went to Pico's Mexican restaurant. Barbara had a burrito bowl and Mark had chicken with mole sauce. It was very good and....only $20 total
