jenett(As you might guess, I did in fact decide to make use of the B&B's wireless.)
I left home a little later than I intended, but only about 20 minutes (after cleaning out the car substantially, yay.) I had about a 2 and a quarter hour drive up here, listening most of the way to Minnesota Public Radio, but switching over to mix-CD the last hour or so. (I'll post the track list at some point.)
I found my way to the Lake Superior Zoo, which is small, and which was *very* quiet (I did not have to share windows looking at animals with anyone.) However, they have three different bear subspecies, which makes me happy (polar, grizzly, and kodiak) This was particularly handy because I keep trying to track down what animal it is that keeps showing up in my dreams (though not very recently), and I think it really is a bear, having had a chance to look at these relatively up close. (And specifically, a grizzly: the only bears I'd been able to see up close since this started were Kodiaks, and they've got just enough differences, especially in size-of-bone that I couldn't figure out whether we were talking bear or bear-ish).
I then came down to Lake Ave in Duluth and puttered around various stores after a late lunch, before turning up at the B&B at 4pm. I am now comfortably ensconced on the couch with a throw rug over me and a gas fireplace making it cozy. Once I finish a few more online things, I am going to go revel in the massage tub. (One thing they fail to mention in the B&B site is that they've been very clever about where they place electrical outlets. I approve.)

Date: 2010-03-23 09:50 pm (UTC)Today, I drove up to Gooseberry falls, and while the falls are totally running abundantly with water, there was still some frozen ice and snow in always-in-shade patches of forest. But not much, even there.
(Now, however, am exhausted: still getting used to where my current stamina levels are, and today was not a particularly great day for that. But still had a nice drive, and a nice bit of freshwater aquarium.)
