We decided to spend the day in Duluth at Canal Park. This area is full of shops, restaurants and museums. It is also along the canal at the Port of Duluth. There is a lift bridge there that cars go over to get from one side of the canal to the other, when a ship is coming, all traffic is stopped and bridge lifts out of the way to let ships pass.
At one end of the canal is a lighthouse on one side and a light station on the other so that ships know exactly where they need to go to get through. We spent several hours just watching the bridge lift as ships came through.
We also went to a Marine Museum which is a free museum showing the history of shipping on Lake Superior.
Then we decided to take a Trolley Ride around the whole area. There was a very nice boardwalk which took about a 1/2 hr to walk.
The weather was beautiful. We have been very lucky with the weather with most of the rain coming at night when we are done touring for the day. Let's hope it stays that way.
