Stillwater

Traveled to Stillwater which is a historic town on the St. Croix River. There are caves that you can tour when during the prohibition days they made the alcohol. The cave tours are only open Thursdays-Sundays. We were there on Monday. Bonnie found a place to park which you had to pay then we walked around the town. Our first order of business was climbing the stairs to get a view of the town at the top. Many stairs and as long as I took it slow I was fine. People for exercise will run us these stairs. The view was fantastic at the top. Made our way down and had a nice cool drink. Then we wandered around and shopped. There are many cute little shops in the town. We ate lunch in a place called The Rafters. We were able to sit by the window and look out at the river. After lunch we walked along the river. The river was pretty high and the sidewalk that is normally at the river's edge was flooded. You could barely see the tops of the markers at the edge. Mom and Bonnie dipped their toes in the murky river. They were on the steps that lead down to the lower sidewalk and you could not see the second step. It was fun, walked alot but at a leisurely pace. When we got back to Bonnie's we had margaritas with cheese and crackers. A nice snack after a warm day along the river.
