What do people do in Green Bay?

They bring those books they have been waiting to read and then read the books that have been left behind by past visitors. What else? They sleep, lay on the beach, swim in the water, hunt for starfish, crabs, sea urchins, and the endless supply of beach glass. They ride bikes, walk, run, snuggle, they breathe deeply and are refreshed..and they come back… maybe all they can slip in is a weekend or maybe even just a night sometimes in the fall.. but people who come for a visit, come back to stay.
