We hadn't seen our friends, Roger and Anita, in a few years; so we were excited for the chance to get to visit with them. They live in small town in Northern Minnesota right on Lake Superior.
When we got there they had prepared some delicious Chicken and Wild Rice Soup, a popular Minnesota recipe, for dinner. After eating we walked down to the lake and walked along the beach. That night the water was very calm. They say sometimes it's the complete opposite with a bunch of big waves which make it look like the ocean during a storm. Even still Lake Superior looks more similar to an ocean than a lake. When you look out at the water, it appears as if it extends for miles and miles. We walked back to their home through the town, there were lots of gift/souvenir shops.
Once we'd had a bowl of ice cream, we got out the map and started planning our route for the next few days, looking at the different parks and such along Lake Superior. With a good nights sleep, and great breakfast we said hello and goodbye to Arwen (their angora bunny) and set out.
Next Stop: Lake Superior, MN
