I left Ann to scout out the shop while I checked out some of Warroad's sights.

It was the first time I'd seen the licence plate purses since I bought one in California. Evidently I got a real deal. Prices have really risen!

As we approached Roseau, Ann and I both noticed a sign advertising a "car hop" drive-in.

It was therefore "a given" that we'd stop for lunch at Earl's Drive Inn,

Decor, inside and out, was all things Coca Cola.

We wanted to cross the border after 8 p.m. so we took the time to explore Lake Bronson (north of Karlstad) and came across this vintage firetruck.

Our destination for dinner was Lancaster, just south of the border.

Eats? At End of the Line Drive Inn.

Ann and I had been here once before and knew the food was good.
May Long Weekend, Wednesday, 2011
We crossed the border around 8:30 and stopped in St. Malo so I could take off my sunglasses and let the sun (directly in our eyes) set.
