The Mad-Art teacher had a great week teaching art again, but it was time to get away for a while. My dear friend Cat and I took a jaunt up to Ashland and Duluth. After a short trip for an errand, we stopped by one of the parks in Ashland so I could take a few lake pictures. I was fortunate to be able to photograph a storm coming through the area, not so lucky later to be driving in it!

Cat and I are perfect traveling partners, we enjoy the same kinds of adventures, the same types of food, and like the same car temperatures! It makes for such an enjoyable trip when you find a kindred spirit.
After traveling to Duluth and shopping up on the hill, we made our way downtown and ate a fine lunch. Duluth has a very nice system of hallways and walkways that connect the downtown area to various points around the town, including the waterfront. We were able to walk over by the lake instead of trying to drive there. Win-win! We got out of the skywalk by the DECC and made our way to the lake.

There was rough water and lots of big waves! Not to mention the wind- makes one's hair quite attractive, don't you think??
