It's been already a couple of weeks since we had Tak and his fiancé Kahori visiting from Japan. It was a busy and quick stay, as any friend's visit always turns out to be. We initially met with them up in the Keweenaw. It was a perfect beach day-- the next day was wet and chilly when we hiked out to Horseshoe Harbor, my favorite place. I have to say it was my first time there in the rain.
It seemed like the rain was getting harder while hiking the trail. And the rain cloud followed us all the way home with our guests.
But the wet weather allowed us to spend more time visiting with one another during their overnight stay at our house, which we probably enjoyed the most anyway. 
Though they could not go fishing, we made sure they got to taste the trout that we'd caught. Joe also grilled some kebabs with summer veggies to perfection. We know they both enjoyed the food. Or was it the local blueberry beer? We had a good time over our kitchen table till late.
Next day we drove to meet with Phil and Judy at Adventure Mine where all of us took an underground tour, which was one of the things on our to-do list, with or without our guests. When we came out from the underground was our time to say good-bye to Tak and Kahori.
To stay with our touristy sprit, we took a side trip to Bond Falls, another little thing that we'd been meaning to check out. It was kind of fun playing "tourists" visiting a semi-local spot in the height of summer tourist season around here, not mentioning the exploration around the waterfalls was very refreshing.
