Winona to Wabasha, MN -- 35 miles

Today was a beautiful day, perfect for bicycling. We got a late start because we had to stop at the first gas station to pick up the local newspaper. It seems that there was a nice article about us on the front page! The photo below is of Lake Winona, one of a 1,000.

Upon arriving in Wabasha, this sign is the first thing you see.


We checked into the AmericInn, which have been great places to stay. This one reminds me of the Madonna Inn on a small scale. One room is the "Kimono Suite", another is the "cottage suite", another is the "plaid suite" and another was the "Cat Suite". Mine was the "Fisherman's Suite".











After a quick lunch at a local restaurant we headed over to the National Eagle Center. It 's a wonderful place to visit. Where else can you experience these majestic creatures up close and personal with no bars or windows between you and the eagles! This part of the country contains one of the highest concentrations of Bald Eagles in the lower 48 states.
