Minnesota's Kolacky Capital, Picking Some Apples and We Bought A New Car

Today's adventure would take us to the Kolacky Capital of the World for apple picking and pastries. Now Theo's a pro at making his own breakfast. They watch too many cooking shows.

That's nuts. A small suburb in the Twin Cities. First meal at El Cortijo. Modern tex-mex in an old dinning car. The whole city is centered on Church Street, which was full of somewhat bougie stores and restaurants. At the end of the church street is the Unitarian Meeting House which the street is named for. I meandered my way down to the Lake Champlain waterfront. In the distance is New York State and the Adirondack Mountains. It's not a Great Lake by any means, but it's big.
