DULUTH, MINNESOTA

Yesterday, my daughter and I spent a day off in Duluth, Minnesota. We arrived Duluth right before 1:00PM yesterday.  We checked into our room at the Radisson Hotel and promptly set out to explore the lakefront. We discovered a beautiful paved path that runs about 6 miles long along the Lake Superior coastline. We saw the famous (famous for Duluth) Lift Bridge and we walked about 3 miles north on the path. We stopped to explore some of the very rocky beaches and we stopped to take a bunch of photos. The most interesting thing we saw was Leif Erikson Park which looked like part of a medieval castle. There was only one time during the day, when my hernia was causing me trouble. After a rest while eating lunch, the pain completely subsided and I was able to thoroughly enjoy the day. My fitbit recorded nearly 20,000 steps which means that I walked nearly 10 miles.  After three weeks of inactivity this was a major achievement. The day ended with dinner at the restaurant atop our hotel -  JJ Astor.  This is the only revolving restaurant in Minnesota and it affords its patrons 360 degree views of the city of Duluth and Lake Superior. We made sure that our dinner included at least one complete revolution.  We were told that the restaurant goes around in a complete circle once every 72 minutes. Yesterday was a simply fabulous day.
