Långasand Beach (Long Sand Beach)

Along with a lovely beach, there is a protected area for swimming, a fishing shack, and at atmospheric fishing nets hanging in the air to dry. It also abuts a nature reserve, which helps keep it a little more wild and natural. You are being transferred to the updated version of this post at https://explorationvacation.net/

The Kindness of Strangers

I can tell the folks running Eagle’s Nest Historical Tours think we are morons (although they must see a lot of those, since the tour information specifically references “warm clothes” in several places) so I reiterate a number of times that we are victims of lost luggage. (Although I don’t admit that it never occurred to me to add an umbrella to my shopping list when I was out buying replacement items yesterday afternoon.) I even run back through the rain to the train station in search of sweatshirts and umbrellas, to no avail.

Pottery and Potholes Along the Saint Croix

We had planned to spend the day going from studio to studio yesterday, but the cold weather kept us at home. So today – after sleeping-in far too late – we hurry out the door and head north to visit our friends up at Richard Vincent ’s studio in North Branch.

I’d Rather Look at (Odd) Houses

Susan has promised our route to Nob Hill will take me by some strange houses. She refuses to elaborate until she, rather abruptly, pulls over to the curb in a nice enough, but rather ordinary neighborhood. You are being transferred to the updated version of this post at ExplorationVacation.net
