"Venice of the North"
... in a couple smaller shops to snoop around. In one of these, we found dark chocolate filled with “crème brulee”…2 of Kyle’s favorite things in the world…so we bought a box for him. We also visited Dumon where a sweet woman who worked there helped us pick out some winners. We got some gifts and a few pieces for ourselves. They had free samples sitting in a bowl above their case.
