Returning from a canoeing trip a few years ago, there were tens of canoes paddling in the bay of the rental store. Apparently, the particular lake we were on had received a "Michelin Star", and therefore been placed on the bucket list of a number of people. I can't imagine the Michelin people, adding the site to their list, were commenting on the particular beauty of a particular bay, nor felt that canoeing was an ephemeral joy that was felt independent of where one was travelling. Nevertheless, a number of people had travelled a great distance to experience only that. Yet we were fortunate, I think, to have spent the rest of the weekend in peace, only having passed one or two other groups.
