Debbie, one of Judith’s oldest friends (or should I say longest-term friends?) came up to Grand Portage from Minneapolis. \u00a0She was a good sport when the air mattress leaked all of the air out so she awoke before morning sleeping on the floor (literally!)<\/p>\n

We had a grand time! \u00a0Her visit provided the perfect excuse for Judith to visit a Canadian Amethyst mine. \u00a0(I had promised her a visit at the beginning of the season, so it was “about time”!) \u00a0The proprietors dig the vein and spread the rocks on the ground so you can\u00a0really just pick up the amethyst pieces you like. \u00a0Judith found a 10# rock with a lovely vein of quartz and amethyst. \u00a0I found several small pieces that were beautiful too. \u00a0Debbie, in addition to her rocks and stones, found a delightful Amethyst Man – and met the creator of the piece!<\/p>\n

The amethyst mine was “just on the other side of Thunder Bay” — actually 40 miles on the other side!<\/p>\n

As we returned, one of the ladies had seen on Trip Advisor a place where we “needed” to eat — the Persian Man. \u00a0They specialized in a doughnut-like pastry called a “persian” \u00a0— go figure!<\/p>\n

While in Thunder Bay, we purchased a new inflatable bed! \u00a0Returning from Thunder Bay, we visited Kakabeka Falls… a lovely sight! \u00a0And the gorge below the falls was pretty also.<\/p>\n

\"\" \u00a0\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Construction on Hwy. 130 encouraged us to take a circuitous, and pastoral route back to Grand Portage. \u00a0Other days we hiked Mount Rose, Judith & Debbie visited the National Monument, and … of course … we played several games of Dominion!<\/p>\n

A different trip to Grand Marais provided a lovely view of Lake Superior at Five Mile Rock and a visit to the “Worlds Best Doughnuts”.<\/p>\n
