Everyone we talked to about what to do in Minnesota said the must see thing is travel along the North Shore of Lake Superior. We traveled to Duluth yesterday and went a long the North Shore today. They were certainly right, it is an amazing sight. Lake Superior is the largest Lake in the world. it covers 31,700 miles. If you go on the complete circle of the Lake it is 1300 miles around and takes you into 3 states, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and into Canada. It has a volume of 3 quadrillion gallons of water, can't imagine how many zero's that is. I know I sound like a guidebook. I read somewhere that the Lake is big enough that every person in the world could sit in a space with a 12'x 12' blanket. Seems hard to believe. It is big enough to see the curvature of the earth. You usually only see that in the ocean. We saw beautiful, large old mansions along the shore in Duluth. I'm sure they were for the very rich. It was only 50 degrees today. Notice how rough the water is. BURRRR.....
Views of Lake Superior
These are views from the restaurant we had lunch at. We ordered the fresh fish sandwich, thinking it would be some local fish. NO, it was salmon. It was very good, but SALMON, not what we were thinking it would be. Denny had a beer made in Duluth, but they didn't have any Minnesota wine. Mine was from Spain. Amazes me when we go places and they don't serve local wine. There are 27 wineries in Minnesota.
