Cruising our way through Minnesota! Welcome to lake and woods country: everywhere we stop sells live bait and Big Game Licenses, kind of exciting for us city-folk. And, happy to say, the places to stop for a break are becoming more frequent… although we are already tiring of gas station fare for the majority of our calorie intake. Our 104km day ended in Grand Rapids, with our motel fortuitously placed next to a movie theatre– meaning we finally got to see Inside Out! Great movie, but unexpectedly moving; my mom cried for most of it and we especially loved the ending. Beyond that, even had time to do some laundry and dine on a terrace in a “fine restaurant” including real (non-plastic) utensils and cloth napkins.
