Your mission is to write up to 150 words inspired by this week’s location. You can use the image supplied or you can visit Roswell yourself via Google Maps and find your own inspiration.

It’s Labor Day here in the states. If you’re not familiar with it, Labor Day is a national holiday in which rich people go out of town for a three-day weekend and have poor people wait on them. 😉

Appropriately, Pegman takes us to the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The Grand Hotel has been a favorite vacation destination of Americans since 1877. If you’d rather skip the hotel, you have the whole of Mackinac Island to wander.

Last week we had some new faces join us. It was great to see you! There was also a whole lot of synchronicity going on with repeated themes, situations, and even character names throughout many of the stories. Can’t wait to see what happens this week!

P.S. To anyone who’s keeping track–I meant to do Greenland this week, but I accidentally wound up here and couldn’t resist. I do try to keep moving around the hemispheres and avoid repeating countries… I guess Greenland will be another time!
