Superior Bayfront Days Inn

... city is connected to Duluth by incredibly long and high bridges.



Things we Observed:

· A rail line through northern Minnesota is maintained by CN personnel and is used exclusively by CN trains, hmm???

· The water of Lake Superior in Duluth is red - don’t know if it’s from the algae in the lake or the iron ore content in the water. The gravel shoreline is red as well.

· When ...

What was meant to be a warm camping trip where we could swim and enjoy the sun turned into a cold time, with gale storms to add to the mix. It was still a good time nonetheless.

We went beyond Duluth to a place called Boundary Waters. A place my wife wants her family to see, reminiscing of her summer in Minnesota. We took ...

The Apostle Islands Rally has come to an end so we said goodbye to our BAC friends on Wednesday and made the short drive back west to Dultuh. We settled into our new 'home' at Ogstons RV park and proceeded to take the afternoon off.

The city of Duluth and it's neighbor to the east, Superior Wisconsin, are known as the twin ports. Both ...

... probably artificially filled with gobs of butter, who knows. They just taste great. The also server frozen custard which is very good as well. We have been joking that since David is still looking for a job we should just open the first Culvers franchise in California and strike it rich.
3) Low point of the day: Construction on the freeway! We now know where all the stimulus money is going. Outside of California it seems every other state has mile upon ...

... is very forgiving. Monday night’s ground beef and rice stuffed cabbage leaves turned out much better than the turkey breast. Baked apples were good, too. Carrots or potatoes left whole never seem to soften so you need to cut them in bit-sized pieces. The hamburger patty turned out really well, though, Brady wouldn’t eat it because it tasted different than a McDonald’s hamburger!

We were ...

... and monuments, and unlike the Canadians they didn’t fleece us for an entry fee, and parking was free. A bit of a moan here…. In Canada we purchased a National parks pass for something like $145 CDN, and that gives us access to all the parks, but there is a catch that those tricky Canucks don’t tell you, often there are additional parking charges, which really offends my sense of fairness. End of moan!!!

Now the road heading south along the shores of lake superior ...

... much all day. We got through Duluth much better this time.
We both have GPS's so that helped. We have missed seeing all the wild animals along the road. It is nice to see green grass and trees. It looks alot like MI here.
We are staying in a campground in Superior Wisconsin.

... not exist! 6) "I don't know what you want, but I have it!" 5) Many husbands received offers to trade camels for wives. Some of the men considered the offer but could not determine how best to bring home the camels. 4) "Welcome to Cairo -- land of confusion!" 3) "I will kill my wife for you!" 2) After telling a vendor no thank you, "You break my plastic heart!" 1) "Give me an hour and I will make you happy for the rest of your life!"

Exhausted....that is the best way to describe how I feel tonight. The trip to Cairo was relatively uneventful. The flights were LONG and CRAMPED. I had a window seat which provided no room. After four hours I got a bit antsy. Sleep was tough to come by on the plane. We landed in Milan, Italy after 7 hours on the plane. We had a three hour lay over before ...
