Stillwater

Well, its a week later (a nasty cold and a lot of "where are we going to live next?" in between), but here's couple of pics from our bike trip to Stillwater. 

Below, the St. Croix River from the bluffs above. The cottonwoods along the river have covered the ground with a fine white down, and the ferns, jewelweed and wild grape are coming out in full force--not to mention the widflowers.

And next, the Elephant Walk B&B. Our favorite hangout, a laid back vibe and truly funky decor (an old Victorian crammed with carvings, cloths and other crafts from Bali.)
Aside from a couple of flat tires (good karma to Larry and Mike, who helped us out), it was a near-perfect ride.

Summer in MN almost makes you forget about the winters. Almost.
