Trip around Lake Superior - Day 6

We left Eagle Harbor and set our sights on Duluth, Minnesota.  We changed our route slightly so that we could exchange the rental with the leaky tire and get something that we wouldn't have to worry about in Canada.  The drive was beautiful and, if I ever learn how to travel, I wouldn't mind spending more time in Duluth.

Before we left, I made my usual morning walk around the harbor (from the Lake Breeze to the marina) and took some pictures! The sky was gorgeous that day.

Then we hit the road .. into Wisconsin ..

and then to Duluth -- I missed the welcome to Minnesota sign :(.  We were staying at Pier B.

We walked around the pier ..

and then had dinner at the hotel restaurant ...

Trip around Lake Superior - Days 4-5

We stayed in Eagle Harbor for three nights.  Tried to do some of the usual things though we ran into an issue with our rental car having tire pressure issues.  

Day 4 - Caught the sunset

.. found an agate (I took a super upclose picture so that you can't tell how small it really is).

.. got a cup of coffee in Calument

... visited the cemetery

Trip around Lake Superior - Day 3

We left Cedarburg and headed north to Michigan and Eagle Harbor.  I am trying to lose the "gotta hurry up and get there mentality." So along the way, we stopped to see Lake Michigan.

Beautiful! That's why they're called the Great Lakes.

Then on to the UP and Eagle Harbor.  

We stopped in Houghton for lunch -- to make sure we didn't get to the Lake Breeze too early.

After that, we stopped at the Wood'n Spoon for some Thimbleberry Jam. 

And, then finally to the Harbor.  I didn't take any pics of the Lake Breeze this time, but here are some photos from the first day there.
