International Falls
Hi – It was 22 degrees at the lake this AM!! But the sun is still warm and the day clear and bright, so we had a beautiful drive here. The leaves are just lovely right now. It’s to be warmer now for a few days.
We “did” International Falls this aft. – but declined the H.S. football game. Are now watching baseball.
So nice to visit with you. Too bad we can’t exchange a few degrees of temp. I’m convinced there are more than 10,000 lakes in Minnesota.
Love, Va.

Dropped Val and her friend off at camp yesterday. Sarah was nervous but expect she will be ok. Val will have to create a separate identity from her sister (who has been there 5 summers!). Had a good visit with Nicholas – and thanks for all the presents! We are enjoying them (Val wore the Vodka T-shirt to camp). Went on a long hike today and Astra is zonked – ready for bed before supper – expect she will recover by tomorrow!

We came here yesterday to see the sights and join the crowd on the harbor boat tour. It is an interesting city. We have done the waterfront, dinner at Fitgers and tonight we plan to be in Bayfield, Wi. It’s been hot in Branerd but nice here.

We drove through this tunnel on the North Shore twice and didn’t get scared but Karolyn was afraid to go down the Alpine Slide at Lutsen!
