What a full day this has been! Belinda got the day started by attending the Aitkin UMC's Bible study that meets each Wednesday morning at the Birchwood Cafe`. A time of sharing breakfast and the Word gets everyone ready for the remainder of the week. When Belinda returned to the cabin, it was time to do some laundry which we were able to do in town.
After a lite lunch at the cabin, it was off on a drive to the city of Hibbing, about ninety miles northeast of Aitkin. Our purpose for going there was to see the birthplace of the Greyhound Bus Museum! This small town, which is located atop the Masabi iron ore range, is where the concept of public bus transportation got its start.
Just down the street from the bus museum is the famous Hull-Rust-Mahoning open pit mine (for iron ore). This place is HUGE! A bit depressing to look at considering the natural beauty of Minnesota, still, seeing the mine at work was still impressive in its own right.
A drive back to Aitkin and supper at Rossalini's (the best pizza pie outside of Chicago!) and now its time to blog!
