Northern Exposure--Day 51

More wandering around and seeing the sights up here in the north country. Today on the beach, just a little farther down on Park Point, was an activity they call building sand models. Groups from the different parts of town competed in building designs in the sand. We spent a little time walking the beach checking out the different designs. There appeared to be about 20 teams doing their designs.

Later in the day we took a drive back over to Joanne's old neighborhood. The people who now own her maternal grand parents house are doing a makeover and she wanted to take some pictures of the changes to show to her mother when we get back home. We then drove a little farther out to visit with Vivian Hansen. This is a old friend of Joanne's mother. We have been receiving a Christmas card from Vivian each year but this is the first time I have met her.

After returning to the coach we decided to walk over to Canal Park again and take some daytime pictures of the Lift Bridge. We spent a couple of hours looking around this area and walked a ways down the Lake Walk that runs from Canal Park around the lake and up the north shore aways. Below are some of the pictures we took while out. Buddy really enjoys these walks and getting out among all the people.
