Yes, we're back from our trip a little early. My son got sick Friday in the middle of the night and we packed up and drove home (5 hours). He's fine now--maybe food poisoning or one too many potato chips...
We did make it to Thunder Bay, Ontario but it rained the whole time so no pictures, but we did go to Fort Williams, which was the inland headquarters of the North West Company in the 1800's. We spent time at the Pigeon River and falls which forms the U.S./Canadian border, and took some pictures there--it was beautiful. Took some pictures in Grand Marais and in the Superior National Forest on Two Island Lake where we camped.
Lots we didn't get to do, we had planned for 7 days and it was only 3. We didn't get to the Amethyst mines in Canada and or see relatives in Grand Marais. And I only shot six roles of film when I was planning for 25. Oh well. It was lots of fun and my son caught his first fish--three actually. I really want to spend more time in Canada. It's beautiful and a different country, which is fun. My son really got a kick out of the money and seeing all the different packaging in the grocery store. While it's not Japan, there are enough differences between the states to make it interesting. Actually, since English is spoken, you can understand the differences better.
