A visit to Duluth, MN and Lake Superior
Once again, a recent trip took me to an American destination rather than a European one (what has gotten into me lately?) and introduced me to a surprisingly interesting part of the US. Duluth, Minnesota lies so far north, compared … Continue reading

Revisiting the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Part 1
