| This week: We’re heading to the lake, but first, which one? | | | Lake life is the best life | Unpopular opinion: Lake life > oceanside. I know it's controversial but I have to say it: I like my water unsalted. As I write this, I’m packing for my annual pilgrimage to Northern Michigan, and I’m wondering if any of these European lake towns can even compare.
