We visited the UP last year and fell in love with it. (Have been there before, of course.) The humor is sooo stupid it is funny. YET, there are a lot of subtle looks, winks, and nods too. You do have to understand non-city humor and it helps to love Michigan. Which we do! Family in Fruitport, South Haven, Holland, and Caro...... Perfect summer place. Not too fond of winter, tho.
