Ships and such on Lake Superior...

Rain, rain, go away. We'll be back in September for another Duluth stay.

Duluth rocks!

Duluth is simply the best of Minnesota.

Hooray! My first printed ARC arrived in the mail. It’s game on for The Levitation Game.

My celebration of Minnesota ended just when we discovered a new highlight: the Mississippi River Greenway, a soon-to-be-finished 27-mile bike and recreation trail.

I’m still walking down memory lane this week, remembering a fraction of my Minnesota highlights. We’re moving to Florida, and Minnesota will be in the rearview mirror someday.

Leftover Duluth, Minnesota photos seem like humble scraps after a month of glorious Costa Rica highlights.

Last summer, we biked the Gitchi Gami trail along the North Shore of Minnesota. The lupine was powerfully purple, the views divine, and the hills and curves exhilarating. There’s a special spot where you can tie your bikes to an aging aspen tree and climb to the top of the basalt at split rock. Once there, I always splay my arms while surveying Lake Superior. But that’s optional. :)
