Snow

We had scarcely landed in our room in the Casino Hotel in the Native American Reservation of Grand Portage, when the family started to plan activities for our three-night stay.

The view from our room was onto a bay in Lake Superior. The hotel/casino was 5 miles from the Canadian border in the very north east corner of the state of Minnesota – on “the north shore”.

The bay opens into the huge expanse of Lake Superior – the lack of waves the only indication that you are not dealing with an ocean!

The smooth glass table top of the water and the whole beach made up of mostly pebbles invites the stroller to try his hand at skipping the round flat stones on the water.

Wilhelm is easier to photograph when he stands still with a pole on his head….!
To quote him: “Just kidding…..!”

Not two ‘little’ boys any more! We are visiting Thunder Bay, in the Canadian province of Ontario and in the background “the sleeping giant” – an island that looks like a man lying on his back.
