Waterfalls

Woke up to a longer run along the lake.  It was really nice and I did it in a solid time (yay!).

We had breakfast at a place called Coho for the second morning in a row (complimentary from our hotel for part of our package).  Jim discovered the awesome taste of actual maple syrup on his french toast, so we stocked up.
 
We went to the spa after that for the first massage I've ever had.  It was a relaxation couples massage.  It was enjoyable, but I'm not gonna lie, I felt a little awkward through the whole situation.  It felt like we had to whisper the whole time and I was afraid to do anything but tiptoe.  But it was fun to experience and I was relaxed afterwards.

We swam in the pool for a little while after that, followed by picking up lunch at the first place we had lunch here, the Schroeder bakery.  A lady from Turkey works there and made us some awesome food and chai tea.  We also picked up dinner while we were there.

The bikes needed to be used again so we took the full south length of the Gitchi Gami bike trail from Tofte to Schroeder.  We found some hiking trails along the way and decided to go to "just one" of the look out points. It was obvious there was something else around the corner, so we did about 6 "just one" more look out points.  Waterfall after waterfall, each one unique and majestic in it's own way.  I'm kind of a sucker for waterfalls, so I took about 50 pictures.

Packing up the bikes was kind of sad, since we leave early tomorrow morning.  But when that was done, we grabbed our dinner and say on the rocks near the lake to eat.  We are now sitting in the hotel room, Jim has an amazing looking piece of carrot cake to eat while we watch the sun go down.  Hot chocolate on the patio before bed and an early morning tomorrow.
