North Country 2011--Day 24

A drive up the shore and then dinner with the relatives.

After relaxing around the coach this morning we decided to take a drive up the North Shore of Lake Superior. We took the scenic route right along the lake edge to the town of Two Harbors. This is about 30 miles north of Duluth. This was a really beautiful drive this time of year. On the way back we stopped at a popular local fish market, Kendall's, to pick up some White Fish to take home to Joanne's mother. Personally I really don't care for it but her mother enjoys it. I guess it is an acquired taste. Anyway, we had a really nice leisurely drive. We did stop at a new small protected harbor that has been built for the launching of small boats. This gave us an opportunity to take some pictures of the lake and the shore along the road. After returning to Duluth we met up with Joanne's brother and sister-in-law, Roger and Marilyn, for dinner at Applebee's in the big mall here in town. All in all a relaxing and fun day.

Of course you wouldn't like white fish, Rick, it's good for you! That said, 'white fish' is Bill's least favourite fish as he says it has no flavour. I looked at Kendall's website and saw that they do 'sugar cured salmon'? We eat a lot of smoked salmon, but I' can't imagine sugar cured. As you say, it must be an acquired taste...
