Today Christa took Adrienne, Zach and I to the North Shore of Lake Superior a little north of Duluth. There we skipped stones over the lake and stacked other stones atop boulders. The tidal pools were of great interest to me but Christa seemed to prefer foraging random flowers  from the nearby tree line, such as Forget-Me-Nots.

Then we were taken to the Duluth grill for lunch, an apparently all local food restaurant. I ordered an orange smoothie, french fries with homemade ketchup and the Ratatouille. This was by far the best meal I have eaten since being in Minnesota and now I insist that I learn how to cook my own ratatouille. Although the food twas pricey, twas worth it by far.
