Washington Island, Part 1

Monday morning after our delicious Swedish pancake breakfast we boarded a ferry for the thirty minute ride across Lake Michigan to Washington Island. Our ferry was named Madonna, and it was a beautiful ride.

Our first stop on the island was Schoolhouse Beach, one of only five limestone beaches in the world. This one particular cove was covered with these beautifully smooth limestone rocks. So cool, and just not like any beach I had ever seen before. And the water was just crystal clear – this is taken through the water. Wow.
