Duluth, Minnesota

This weekend I'm in Duluth, Minnesota. Duluth is by far one of the most unique cities I have visited. It seems like your average Midwestern town, but deep inside, Duluth is simply "something else". Besides the faint "awkward" vibe in the air, I fell in love with the scenery, and the location.



Duluth is located on the shores of Lake Superior, the largest of the Great Lakes. As you drive inland, the elevation drastically rises (perfect for sledding in the winter.) The roads are steep, but the homes have amazing views of the lake. Would not mind living here if the temperature would not fall to -30 degrees in the winter.

Duluth is known for having some of the harshest weather in the country. We were lucky to have perfect weather this weekend. We got rained on during the marathon for a few minutes, but nothing major.



The skywalk system in Duluth is known to be one of the best in the country. You can go to any part of downtown without ever stepping a foot outside a building. This is perfect for those freezing days. The longest part of the skywalk crosses over Interstate 35!, connecting downtown with the convention center. Amazing.



I also had a little free time to go geocaching in one of the hills. Pretty nice views. Even caught a rainbow on the lake!
