 |
| The "Golden Dome". In 1842 Edward Sorin, a priest of the Congregation of the Holly Cross, arrived at the present site to head a mission for the Potawatomi Indians and start a school for both sceular students and those studying for the Holy Cross Order. |
 |
| Basilica of the Sacred Heart! This was built in the late 1800's and has one the largest collections of 19th century French stained glass in the world. |

We stayed at a campground in MI just over the state line. The owners do an excellent job of maintaining and decorating.

A visit to South Bend area would not be complete without visiting the famous sand dunes. Dunes are created by the winds of Lake Michigan.
 |
| Chicago skyline in the background! |
 |
| Jean was able to put her toes into the sand along the beach. |
 |
| Mt Baldy is several hundred feet tall but it has been slowly eroding away. The Red line shows its location in the 1800's and the light Blue is 2006. You can climb this dune but it now has controlled paths. |
 |
| Top of Mt Baldy overlooking Lake Michigan, it was worth the climb. |

 |
| These 50's classic's brought back memories. |
 |
| Sometimes they were ahead of their time in design but maybe the public was not ready |
 |
| Didn't know this bit of history. |
